A Summer Vacation Guide to Road Trip Eastern Idaho

By Amber Woods on Monday, September 4, 2023

It’s been said “When you are tired of Idaho you are tired of life” Yup. I can see that. Idaho holds so much pristine beauty, even though in 2023 over 17,000 spoiled Califonias packed their Teslas and their ridiculous bro flat ball caps and moved to Boise and Coeur d’Alene. The wilderness of Idaho feels …

Anglo-Indian Ginger Plum Cake

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, August 30, 2023

When I was a kid whenever my mom would bake a cake she would tell us kids if we ran in the house the cake would fall in the middle. So obviously if we wanted cake we had to go outside and play. All day long. The forty-three-year-old baker in me now knows it does …

About Me
Amber Wood
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.
