A Delightful Hike - Amber is quite knowledgeable of plants, flora, etc. She was an excellent guide; helpful in every way. She also does jeep tours off-road, and we plan to do that upon returning to the area.

Great experience - This was a perfect easy morning hike on our first full day in Big Bear. I am a very slow hiker and my family member wanted to stop and take lots of pictures. Amber was patient, attentive to our particular hiking pace, and very informative of what we were seeing. I definitely recommend this family friendly hike!

Super Fun Hike for the Whole Family! - Amber’s hike took us straight into the wooded forest! Amber made stops along the way to point out different types of trees, really cool seasonal flowers and streams, a formation of climbing rocks as tall as a 3-story building, and wide expanses of the Big Bear Lake below. Amber even stopped us at some beautiful lookout points to take in the beauty, listen to the forest, and take our pictures. We had sooooo much fun on this excursion!

Find Gems & Make a New Friend - I grew up in the San Bernardino mountains and had spent a lot of time in the woods. I found Amber on Instagram and marveled at her pictures and places unfamiliar and yet familiar to me. On a recent visit home, I decided to look her up, and am so glad I did. Amber guided me to some real gems, and I ended up booking additional hikes with her. She'll be on my agenda whenever I return home and will be the highlight of the trip.
