Marinated Beet Salad with Cashews and Pistachio Oil

By Amber Woods on Friday, June 13, 2014

      I guess I should thank god for Dumb Dumbs or I would really have nothing to blog about.      I have a new test if a boy is smart enough to date me.       I don’t mean city smart.       I mean mountain smart.      It used to be a …

I’ve Got G.A.S (Gear Accumulation Syndrome)

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, June 10, 2014

    It’s hard to be a fan of the outdoors and not slowly turn into a outdoor merchandise hoarder.     It starts with a pair of running shoes, the Asic women’s size 7’s in white and pink.     Than your first pair of trekking poles.     And of course you need a -10 degree sleeping bag to …

Falling off Toilets; Life with Vertigo

By Amber Woods on Sunday, June 8, 2014

    I feel like Lucille Austero from Arrested Development.    Vertigo is so fucking weird.    Its hard to explain to some one who has never had it.    At first its fun.    The room spins a little and honestly you feel a little drunk, weee!    Than three hours later you are puking none stop, you fall off the toilet …

Sweet Potato Patty Tacos with Yogurt Tahini Sauce

By Amber Woods on Sunday, June 8, 2014

     There are so many awesome places in Southern California to swim, fish and hike.       Lake Perris is not one of them.       To get to Lake Perris you drove through a place called the Badlands.       Seriously, is this a fucking Stephen King movie?     …

BBQed Eggplant Tacos with Greek Yogurt Tahini Sauce

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, June 4, 2014

      Every time I almost swallow a bug I remember that it’s spring time.       Every time I leave the house at seven a.m. for a five mile run in the hot, hot May sun I almost always forget my mosquito net for my face. I than spend most of my sweaty, …

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.
