That Famous Tijuana Sunset

By Amber Woods on Thursday, January 1, 2015

     ” I just want to make it to Tijuana in time to catch the sunset!”        I don’t think anyone has ever uttered those words before, but I did, on Thanksgiving. Who wouldn’t want to spend Thanksgiving in good old TJ? Nothing says Thanksgiving more than donkey shows and tequila!     …

120 Pounds of Lobster Happiness

By Amber Woods on Thursday, December 25, 2014

  No, No, No!   Why was I throwing a temper tantrum? Because I did not want to go to the ball!   I am a tom boy. I am most comfortable in jeans and a tank top with a ball cap pulled low over my face and my hiking fanny pack full of bug spray, SPF and …

About Me
Amber Wood
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.
