 The Day the Hungry Mountaineer decided to become Vegan.

By Amber Wood on Saturday, December 3, 2016

This week I decided to be a vegan. That decision lasted about four days than I was baking liver for my cats food (and also snacking on chicken liver) and then I remembered, damn it! I’m a vegan! (This week)  I suck at being vegan. Vegans don’t eat organs. I’ve had the most riduclous stomach problems …

Coconut Chicken Stir Fry

By Amber Wood on Thursday, December 1, 2016

Today I ran as fast as a dolphin. As my boyfriend pointed out it must have been a very slow dolphin. I spent my early morning cursing the traffic of southern California. One whole hour to drive twenty three miles is just uncalled for So Cal and I just do not appreciate it. I was …

That One Time I Got Typhoid

By Amber Wood on Monday, November 28, 2016

“Babe, I think I have typhoid” I’m laying on the couch in pain for the third day straight. “How can you possibly have Typhoid? You just got vaccinated for it and we are still safely in California!” My boyfriend is staring at me from the couch, the image of Donald Trump’s ginormous face reflected behind …

Walking Around in a Winter Wonderland; Chihuahuas in Sweaters Edition 

By Amber Wood on Sunday, November 27, 2016

When I find myself constantly weaving my way around a chihuahua in a sweater leashed to a cart in Stater Brothers and keep getting glared at by the tiny purse dogs owner every time her dog tries to dart in front of my shopping cart that’s when I know grocery shopping the morning before thanksgiving …

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.
