Bangalore India Style Cucumber and Radish Raita

By Amber Wood on Monday, January 2, 2017

I don’t miss Target very often unless I happen to be in Bangalore India. Today as I lugged five bags of groceries through the ninety degree heat I was missing Target and the convenience of home just a little bit. Part of that could have been lugging five bags of groceries through four different stores …

The Majestic Trash Eagle of Poovar India

By Amber Wood on Saturday, December 31, 2016

It’s a fantastic morning to be alive in Poovar India. I’m not just saying that because I had the most fantastic Indian breakfast buffet of my life. This morning I tried puris and Ummpa for the first time. The Ummpa was so delicious, a couscous overflowing with fennel seeds, curry leaves and pine nuts, not to mention …

About Me
Amber Woodyard
Amber Woodyard

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 [email protected] 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.
