Big Bear Lake Cabins

In 1845, Benjamin Wilson was on an expedition to the Mohave River.  When he passed through the San Bernardino Mountain range he accidentally discovered the mountain resort now called Big Bear.  The name was not always Big Bear though.  It was originally named Bear Valley.  The name was changed to Big Bear Lake because of the many grizzly that roamed the area.
