A Very, Very Veganuary

By Amber Woods on Thursday, January 26, 2023

We were coming back from our ten-day RV camping vacation and I was crying at the gas pump. I couldn’t control my sobs as I inserted my American Express again and again and thought how are we paying seven dollars and eighty cents a gallon for gasoline? Is it laced with gold for fuck’s sake? …

Las Vegas Fitness Foodie Favorites

By Amber Woods on Thursday, January 5, 2023

It’s September sixth here in Southern California and I might have just made a terrible decision to head to Las Vegas at the tail end of a heatwave. It was one hundred and thirteen miserable degrees as we approached sin city and the low-carb margaritas and culinary delights were calling my name. As well as …

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.
