One Week, One Peak — Rohr Lake

This Summer, We’re Taking You on the Trails with Us

At Peak, we don’t just train for the gym.
We train for the outside — for the long hikes, the steep climbs, the pack-carrying, stream-hopping, sore-leg days that leave you smiling (and maybe a little sunburnt).

This summer, we wanted to do something a little different.

Each week, one of our team members will share a hike they love — one they’ve done, trained for, and would absolutely recommend (with snacks). We’ll give you the photos, the honest trail tips, and a little glimpse of what makes it so special.

Because when your body feels strong, your world opens up.
And the mountains? They’re waiting.

This Week’s Pick: Rohr Lake

Shared by the team, loved for its peace and punch.

Tucked just beyond Pemberton, Rohr Lake is one of those trails you don’t forget.
It starts off gentle — forested and quiet, with wildflowers and creeks guiding your way. But it doesn’t stay gentle for long. Around the halfway mark, the trail gets steep, rooty, and rugged. You’ll sweat, you’ll slip, you’ll question your life choices (briefly). But then… you’ll arrive.

And it’s so worth it.

Rohr Lake sits up high and still, framed by alpine ridges and total silence.
You’ll want to linger, stretch, snack, maybe even swim (if you can handle the glacial temps). It’s the kind of hike that reminds you why you trained — and why you’ll keep training.

Just the Facts

  • Near Duffey Lake Road

  • around 10 km out & back

  • 500 m elevation gain

  • Intermediate to challenging

  • 3–4 hours

  • Best time to go: July–September


What Training Has to Do With It

This isn’t just about fitness. It’s about freedom.
Because it’s hard to enjoy the view if your knees are shot and your pack feels like a boulder.
That’s why we train — to build strength, stamina, and confidence for real-life stuff like this.

“Hikes like this remind you why you do the reps, why you build the foundation. So when the trail gets steep, you know you’ve got it.”

What to Know Before You Go

  • The trail can be muddy, especially early in the season. Waterproof footwear is a must.

  • The last section is unmarked, so be prepared with GPS or a downloaded map (AllTrails is your friend).

  • Camping? You can! But there are no facilities, so pack accordingly (and leave no trace).

Coming Soon…

We’ve got more hikes, more photos, and more trail beta coming all summer — one per week, straight from the Peak crew.
Next week’s route? Let’s just say it’s got views, wildflowers, and maybe another beautiful lake. And yes, Meaghan’s on trail right now, testing one out for you. Stay tuned for the sneak peek 

Until then — happy hiking.
Train hard. Carry snacks. And don’t forget to look up.


Bonus Tip
Feeling extra strong? You can keep going past the lake and push on to the
Peak itself.
It adds about
7 km round-trip and a solid chunk of elevation gain, but the panoramic views from the top are wild — totally worth it if you’re up for the challenge.

Just make sure you’ve got enough daylight, water, and snacks (more snacks).
