Known as Yuhaviat for over a thousand years, Big Bear, California is centrally located less than one hour from Los Angeles. The home of the Serrano Indians who named the area to mean Pine Place, Big Bear was renamed after the Indians were forcefully removed in 1845. It was named for the vast number of bears in the area. Lodging in Big Bear is centrally located in the Village, near the lake or ski slopes.
