Cocoa Crater, Volcanic crater in Tahltan Highland, Canada.
Description
Cocoa Crater is a volcanic cone reaching approximately 2100 meters high, built from layered volcanic debris and ash. It stands in the remote Tahltan Highland region of northwestern British Columbia.
History
The crater formed around 1300 years ago through volcanic activity. It stands as one of about 30 cinder cones that make up the Mount Edziza volcanic complex.
Culture
The crater sits within lands long inhabited by First Nations communities. These indigenous peoples have shaped how the landscape is understood and used over many generations.
Practical
Reaching the crater requires preparation since the area is remote and sits roughly 38 kilometers southeast of Telegraph Creek. Hikers should expect rough conditions and bring good navigation skills or local guidance.
Did you know?
The crater is easily recognizable by the thick ash deposits that blanket the surrounding area. This feature sets it apart noticeably from nearby Coffee Crater, which has a distinctly different look.
