Couscous Lemon Cauliflower Salad with Tahini Cilantro Dressing

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, April 13, 2021

When it comes to my wanderlust, it usually leads me on a hike to the jagged peaks and alpine lakes of the eastern Sierra mountains. These dazzling aqua blue lakes sit at the top of strenuous hiking trails all over the eastern Sierras. These are the kind of hikes that have me sweating for half …

Trek the Pacific Crest Trail in Big Bear Lake During a Global Pandemic

By Amber Woods on Sunday, April 4, 2021

In our small mountain town, the Pacific Crest Trail hikers are a welcome sight in the springtime. (Even if that one I just picked up hitchhiking through Big Bear Lake was a stinky sweaty mess) It might look like our small resort town has been overrun by bearded hippies wearing North Face puffy down jacket …

Living high on the hog in a Pre-Pandemic 2020

By Amber Woods on Sunday, March 28, 2021

A year ago today I was up to some pretty crazy shenanigans. I went to an indoor restaurant with friends! And we shared a plate of appetizers! It was a beautiful cold March morning working at Santa Anita Park and between races and work stuff(You know, like petting horses), I chatted with my friend Amy …

By Amber Woods on Thursday, March 25, 2021

Four years ago when I resided in Bangalore India for a month there were days I ate Butter Chicken for Breakfast lunch and dinner. I’m not kidding. There were not a lot of things I loved about the hustle and bustle and cow shit-filled streets of Bangalore but what I really loved was being in …

Spinach Bran Muffins, a Healthy St Patrick’s Day Snack

By Amber Woods on Saturday, March 13, 2021

Happy St Patrick’s Day 2021! This St Patrick’s Day is like no other in history. A global pandemic is making it nearly impossible to drink green beer with friends in a crowded bar. If I can’t partake in beer with unnatural food coloring in it then I might as well head in the opposite direction. …

Hike. Jeep. Repeat. Big Bear's only outdoor adventure guide
Amber Woods
Amber Woods

Hi y’all! I’m Amber, Big Bear Lake’s local Hungry Mountaineer hiking nature guide. I grew up here in the San Bernardino National Forest. 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 alpine adventure enabler 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 and a backcountry Snack Sherpa. I know the best hiking and biking trails in these mountains and I have chronicled most of my hikes and adventures on this website. Please get in touch is you have any questions.
