Horseradish and Garlic Crusted Short Ribs

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, December 7, 2022

Here in our mountain town of Big Bear Lake, the autumn colors are finally changing and everything is a rainbow of yellow, oranges and reds. It’s one of my favorite times of year to be out on the trails with my favorite trail pup and hiking companion. Now that the weather actually feels like fall …

Sleep Like A Baby on an Overseas Flight

By Amber Woods on Friday, December 2, 2022

I’ve spent a night or two sleeping on the floor of an international airport (Oh and it was New Years Eve too! Fun story!) Getting stranded away from home during the holidays or any time of year if you find yourself sleeping on an airplane or at an airport life can be uncomfortable and stressful. …

How to Puppy. For Dog Dummies

By Amber Woods on Saturday, November 26, 2022

Yesterday I woke up at five a.m. to my twelve-year-old pup having a complete meltdown. So you want a puppy? I asked myself as I trudged down the stairs in the dark to let her outside to pee. I really could have used that extra hour of sleep before I got ready for my two-hour …

Fennel and Tamarind Paste Roasted Pork Loin Please

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, November 22, 2022

If it’s late October it’s finally cool enough in our mountain town to turn our oven on again. As much as I don’t want to see long summertime days end, the shorter days of fall mean I get to shove a Fennel and Tamarind Paste Roasted Pork Loin at my face. On a humid autumn …

Autumn Spice Sugar Cookies

By Amber Woods on Friday, November 18, 2022

Get a dog they said. Get another dog they said. Take her on a hike they said. Clean up fifteen poops a day, they said (By they I mean my boyfriend) Did we really only adopt one dog? How can one dog poop so much? All the stress of adopting a new puppy has me …

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.
