So you heard that Big Bear Lake, California is just bursting with fall colors right now? But just where the hell should you go to see the best fall colors in Big Bear Lake? Isn’t Big Bear mostly a conifer forest? Are you wondering if it’s worth the two-hour drive from Los Angeles to go …

Gluten-Free Sticky Toffee Pudding

By Amber Woods on Friday, October 27, 2023

It’s fall here in southern California. That means leaves crunching under my hiking boots once again and I’m no longer afraid to turn on my oven. If it’s early September then I am faced with a difficult conundrum, should I turn on my oven? Or should I take my fat ass for a hike? This …

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, October 24, 2023

It’s autumn at last here in our ski town! Break out those fall-favorite hiking boots! If you are an eco-conscientious hiker like me that could mean you purchased your favorite Uggs or Merril hiking boots at your local thrift store. Good for you! I’m a huge fan of thrift store fashion. Curbing our carbon footprint …

By Amber Woods on Monday, October 23, 2023

I have a hard time ignoring the siren song of the Eastern Sierra Mountains in California. They are my happy place. Nothing makes me happier than the Eastern Sierra, well except maybe a marvelous Bison Burger. Usually, I try to spend as much time as possible each summer and early fall frolicking amongst the alpine …

Gluten-Free Candied Ginger Breakfast Muffins

By Amber Woods on Thursday, October 19, 2023

I kind of want to make Anglo-Indian Christmas Cake year-round. Except that boozy Christmas cake has to be one of the highest calories and yes most delicious baked goodies I make during the holiday season. It’s fine to shove some Christmas cake at your face in late December when you snowshoe for an hour or …

About Me

Amber Wood

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 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. 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.
