The Eye of God (Serrano: Hatauva) is a quartz dome which is a landmark in the Baldwin Lake area of Big Bear City, California. It is a megalith which is a sacred tribal landmark for the Serrano people who lived in the region 2,000 years ago. The Serrano's worshipped the dome, in which they referred to as the eye of their creator Kruktat (Kokitach). It is where the Serrano's creation narrative takes place. The Serrano Indians still hold the place sacred and believe God's spirit remains here.
Legend says God was watching to make sure the Indians treated one another well. Originally a full dome, it was dynamited during 1940's.
Eye of God Trail is a 1.8-mile roundtrip hike to Eye of God, which has its trailhead on Burns Canyon Road.
