This is the third and biggest of the Chocolate Lakes. Each one of the lakes has its beauty and a different perspective of the mountains. The lakes have this name because they sit in front of Chocolate Peak, which is formed by rocks of a soft brown color, looking like a chocolate mountain.

I really enjoyed the views from this lake a chocoLOT 😆 Cloudripper really takes the (chocolate)cake as far as mountain vistas goes here! Oh you thought we were done with the chocolate puns? Haha, nope- I’ve still got a few Twix up my sleeve 😉
