S is for… San Gorgonio

By Amber Wood on Monday, April 22, 2013

   He who has not descended Old Grey Back is like a savage who listens to the tuning up of an orchestra and goes off pleased- thinking he has heard the concert – Theodore S Van Dyke 1875   In the beginning of May I’m planning to climb San Gorgonio with some friends.   The peak is …

Mountain Biking so I can eat homemade Twix Bars… made with Nutella!!!!

By Amber Wood on Monday, April 22, 2013

    Mountain biking is kicking my ass.    Luckily for me, this ass kicking has made my ass slightly smaller which is good because I have been on a complete dessert kick this past week.   Today I made Homemade Twix Bars with Nutella, and Homemade Smores Cookies with Carmel.

   While driving on the north shore of Big Bear lake I came across this happy pelican family.     They seem to be a bit lost from their ocean home.    Or maybe they are just on a family vacation?

O… is for On the Trail

By Amber Wood on Wednesday, April 17, 2013

This month I’m doing the A-Z Blogging challenge and today’s letter is O, as in On the Trail.     It has crossed my mind recently that it would be fun to sign up to do Trail Angel stuff along the Pacific Crest Trail.  Note I did not say it would be fun to hike the Pacific …

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.
