A Happy Birthday Sierras Style Celebration

By Amber Wood on Sunday, August 25, 2013

    I celebrated my birthday last week with some of the best friends a girl could ask for.    Most “great birthdays” don’t begin with waking up at three a.m. but this one did.    At three A.M. I left my mountain town and made a beeline for the Sierras where my friends had already set up …

Butulism and Repressed Childhood Memories

By Amber Wood on Thursday, August 22, 2013

   Sometime I think I repress some memories of my childhood.   The thought of slimy lettuce brought me back to 1989 and the summer of the Whopper. I was just thinking  about the summer of ’89 the other day and eating frozen yet defrosted Whooper hamburgers st aright from the microwave for a whole summer. (My Dad’s …

Get out of this Town

By Amber Wood on Tuesday, August 20, 2013

     I need to get out of this town!    The restaurant across the street from me has had a broken fan for days and the noise is epically loud.   It is making me crazy.   I live in the forest because I like the peace and the quiet. I love the pine trees, the deserted trails …

Manzanita Flats Off Roading Adventure and a recipe for Wild Raspberry Pie

By Amber Wood on Sunday, August 18, 2013

I would never suggest off roading when you have a bladder infection. In fact, if your friend rents an awesome Dodge Ram pickup and then picks you up TO GO OFFROADING, you should probably tell a said friend of said bladder infection. Yes, this happened to me. Okay, not to me. To Jenn. I was …

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.
