Keto Gluten Free Kung Pao Chicken

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, March 3, 2021

I’m a child of the eighties. I grew up with cassette tapes. My parents made me play outside. We had a rotary wall phone if anyone were to call. And don’t even think of trying to make a long-distance call! I remember when we first got a huge monstrosity of a computer and then dial-up …

Dark Chocolate Cake with Blackberry Mascarpone Cream

By Amber Woods on Friday, February 26, 2021

I definitely snowshoe up mountains so that I can shove a dark chocolate cake in my face. Did you know that snowshoeing up a mountain burns over one thousand calories an hour? That sounds like a challenge to me! Luckily here in Big Bear Lake, we have two feet of slightly icy snow if you …

Bol Kogi Buffalo Sloppy Joes, Keto Style

By Amber Woods on Monday, February 22, 2021

Of all the things hidden down in the deep depths of our stand-alone freezer when I was a kid, buffalo was not one of them. That old stinky 80’s freezer may have been full of thirty frozen Whoppers from Burger King after the great Whopper sale of ’89 but anything healthy and normal like ground …

Big Bear Lake Snowmagedean 2021

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, February 16, 2021

“This is going to be the greatest snowstorm Big Bear Lake has seen in a century!” These are the words I have been hearing shouted from the snowy rooftops all over our ski resort town for the last week. I personally wrote them the way Donald Trump would proclaim a big ass snow storm rolling …

Snowshoe Shenanigans throughout Southern California

By Amber Woods on Friday, February 12, 2021

It was nine a.m. and I was struggling through four feet of wet snow, snowshoeing almost straight up a white mountain. It might have been forty degrees outside but I was sweating big time in my favorite North Face winter jacket, as I sucked in the arctic cold air and I perspired under my day pack. …

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.
