Vintage Tattoo

By Amber Woods on Friday, April 26, 2013

It has been fourteen years since my first tattoo experience, a single band of horses galloping majestically around my right bicep. Except the guy who inked my tattoo in in the year 1999 apparently had no idea what a horse looked like. He drew on my right bicep what could only be described as a …

Unbelievable Fall into Stinging Nettle

By Amber Woods on Thursday, April 25, 2013

    I hike and run in our national forest which sits just outside my door all the time.    You would think I would be aware of the painful make you itch, sting and your skin ooze disgustingly for days plants.    Yet every spring and summer I find myself drawn to poison oak and Stinging Nettle …

T is for…Teeth-A-Rexia

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, April 24, 2013

   I’m really not paranoid about a lot of things in my life. I’d rather live life and be happy and not be stressed out about the random things that don’t really matter in the long run.   I do stress out about the color of my teeth.   I might have a mild case of tooth-a-rexia.   …

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

By Amber Woods 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.

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.
