Amber was a great host! Her enthusiasm and professionalism was appreciated. Her love for the mountains was infectious. Her lifetime of living in the mountains shined through as she made history come alive for us. We thoroughly enjoyed the hike.

Hiking with Amber was a wonderful experience! She’s a local expert with these trails so had nothing to worry about except for enjoying the journey. She shared interesting info on the history and wildlife and was easy to hike with. She went out of her way to accommodate the drink and treat requests and made everyone feel included. Thanks for a memorable time!

Amber is an excellent guide and let our group (which included our kiddo and her grandparents) go at our own pace. Of course, seeing the burros was amazing but the trail itself is beautiful on its own. We’re looking forward to the next time here, perhaps to go on another adventure with Amber!

About me
Mountaineer
I've explored the San Bernardino Mountain trails for over 20 years. I've hiked most of the Pacific Crest Trail through Big Bear Valley. I know all the prettiest spots, as well as the plants and creatures that roam these mountains. I’ll take you to meet the wild burros and share their history.
