The Hungry Mountaineer

Hike. Run. Eat. Travel. Live.

The Mountains are Calling

Life in the Mountains

By Amber Woods on Friday, August 16, 2013

     Every one always asks me how do I live this mountain life? How do I deal with the snow and the fires, and the fire storm evacuations and the bears and the cougars? The same way they deal with the smog, the heat and the gansta’s in the valley below me. I love my mountain life …

Forest Falls Hike or Why My Friends Refuse to Hike with Me and a recipe for Salmon Salad

By Amber Woods on Thursday, August 15, 2013

   Some times the best adventures can be the things that are really not smart ideas at all.   For two weeks now Janette and I have been hearing the tall tales of how glorious the crystal clear waters at the top of Forest Falls are.    “The pools are deep enough to swim.”        “There are …

Who the Hell is Jerry Brown?

By Amber Woods on Monday, August 12, 2013

   I went on a date last night that was going just fine until I made a comment about how I had been at Walmart today and a solicitor had asked me to sign a petition to recall Jerry Brown.    I had looked at the guy with his cheap folding table and clip board …

Hike. Jeep. Repeat. Big Bear's only outdoor adventure guide
Amber Woods
Amber Woods

Hi y’all! I’m Amber, Big Bear Lake’s local Hungry Mountaineer hiking nature guide. I grew up here in the San Bernardino National Forest. 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 alpine adventure enabler 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 and a backcountry Snack Sherpa. I know the best hiking and biking trails in these mountains and I have chronicled most of my hikes and adventures on this website. Please get in touch is you have any questions.
