My Face Hurts and a Recipe for Carbanara Macaroni and Cheese

By Amber Wood on Monday, September 2, 2013

    Any one who knows me knows that I eat. A lot. A good friend once told me that I talk about food so much that if you were to speak to me on the phone, having never met me, one would think I would be a rather plump lady as ALL I TALK ABOUT …

1,600 Feet Below Duck’s Pass Lake

By Amber Wood on Sunday, September 1, 2013

Pastries and Earth Quakes?

By Amber Wood on Monday, August 26, 2013

     When the toilet vibrates something is wrong.      I had just driven one third of the way home from my Eastern Sierras vacation. I had been up since five a.m. I ran ten miles in the mountains with a two thousand foot altitude gain and than hiked for a mile near Convict Lake.     I was a bit tired …

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.
