Sweet Potato Fennel Hash with Bacon Goodness

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, September 17, 2019

I told myself this week I was going to start eating healthy again; Almond Butter Banana Smoothies for breakfast every day! Kale! Wheatgrass! Colonics! But then all the wheatgrass died in the ninety-degree summer days and the hydro colonic butt cleanse spa is number one, seventy miles from our home and number two located in the …

Where I was When the World Stopped Turning; Mucking Stalls Edition

By Amber Woods on Thursday, September 12, 2019

How to Save Those Dirty Hiker Feet

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, September 3, 2019

It was early July and I was standing and sweating on the top of an 11,000-foot mountain. I was tired, exhausted, happy, and sweaty (Did I mention sweaty?) I was very sweaty, and at that moment I could not care less about my dirty hiker feet. The views were out of this world amazing as …

I swear, this mutt of mine has probably passed teenagers on the trails and paths of many forests in all her miles she has logged climbing mountain passes and jogging down pine needle strewn trails but today the stinky teenagers terrified her. It must be the …

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, August 21, 2019

Kerala, India is an excellent place to visit as long as tigers don’t chase you and you enjoy hot humid tropical weather with at least eighty percent humidity. Besides threats of tiger maulings, Kerala is a fantastic tropical destination to spend a few days in the jungles of southern India. The beaches of Kerala may …

About Me

Amber Wood

Hi y’all! I’m Amber, Big Bear’s local Hungry Mountaineer hiking nature guide. I grew up here in the San Bernardino National Forest and I have basically been out exploring hiking trails and enjoying the wilderness as long as I could walk. I have had some amazing adventures out here in the gorgeous San Bernardino Mountains over the years. As a hiking guide who is passionate about the wilderness, I love to share my knowledge of our vast trail system with vacationers who also love the great outdoors. Looking to book a hiking excursion? Email me at Hungrymountaineer@gmail.com for the best locals-only hikes available in this mountain wilderness. I am passionate about finding my balance in life – healthy living, great food, outdoor fitness, traveling adventures, working hard and my unbridled love for racehorses and naturally, gambling. When I’m not exploring news trails or betting on the ponies you can find me either coming up with healthy new recipes or blogging about the adventures my trail pup and I had in the wilderness this week. I have spent most of my life exploring what these mountains have to offer and locals would call me an expert. I know the best hiking and biking trails in these mountains and I have chronicled most of my hikes and adventures in my blog on this website. Please get in touch is you have any questions.
