The Last Night of 2013

By Amber Wood on Wednesday, January 1, 2014

    I spent the last night of 2013 in a hospital ICU waiting area hugging good friends, shedding a few tears and saying a few prayers.    Ninety percent of 2013 was absolutely amazing.    I ran a half marathon, I caught a ton of trout, did a ton of camping trips with good friends and I summited both …

If Attacked by a Mountain Lion….

By Amber Wood on Tuesday, December 31, 2013

    The last twenty four hours have been full of more tears than I can count.    This morning I stumbled across this on the internet and nearly laughed my ass off.    Stupid cats love lasers!

It’s not if, It’s When

By Amber Wood on Monday, December 30, 2013

Yesterday I was watching horse racing and the big news was a popular jockey going down in a horrific crash. The talk of the day was how in horse racing in this career you will fall, you will get hurt, you will break bones, horses will step on you, horses will fall over on top …

Just like Dad? A Christmas Adventure

By Amber Wood on Sunday, December 29, 2013

      It just wouldn’t be Christmas if I wasn’t staring at a brown bottle of urine.       In my dad’s defense it could actually be a bottle of Arizona iced tea in the trunk of his Chevy but knowing my dad and how he never stops for bathroom breaks, chances are good it might be …

Bear Creek via Glory Ridge and Thai Trail Mix Recipe

By Amber Wood on Thursday, December 26, 2013

     It’s December 24 and I figure I should get my money’s worth out of my 2013 fishing license.      It may be Christmas Eve but I’m off to Big Bear to go for a run.      Or a hike.      Or both.     With possibly a side trip for fishing thrown in.      I tried to look …

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.
