Rohr Mountain is a Photographer's Dream! 📸​​

📍 ​​Rohr Mountain via Marriot Basin Trail​​ I've had this hike on my bucket list since last year! Tried it in March with snowshoes but got hit with a blizzard and fog at the summit—total whiteout, zero views. 😭 Fast forward to summer: Went back with friends and WOW—​​completely different world!​​ Winter’s snowy wonderland transforms into ​​emerald meadows and crystal-clear lakes​​. 100% worth doing both seasons! 🌿💙 🚩 ​​Trail Stats​​ 📏 ​​19.5km round trip​​ ｜⬆️ ​​1,190m elevation gain​​ 🚶‍♀️ ​​Terrain Breakdown:​​ 🌟 ​​Start:​​ FSR road (high-clearance vehicles save walking). 🌟 ​​Forest Section:​​ Steady climb with muddy patches (detour needed). 🌟 ​​After the Trees:​​ Scramble up a rocky slope to the lake, then cross wildflower meadows (summer blooms! 🌸). 🌟 ​​Final Push:​​ A long boulder field to the summit—minor snow patches remain (no spikes needed). 🕐 ​​Sample Itinerary​​ ✨ ​​6:30 AM​​ - Depart ✨ ​​7:00 AM​​ - Meet in West Van ✨ ​​9:30 AM​​ - Start hiking ✨ ​​11:00 AM​​ - Reach the lake (1hr photos + snacks 📸) ✨ ​​12:00 PM​​ - Continue ascent ✨ ​​2:30 PM​​ - Summit! ✨ ​​3:40 PM​​ - Begin descent ✨ ​​6:50 PM​​ - Back at parking ✨ ​​10:00 PM​​ - Home ​​Total moving time:​​ ~7 hours (full-day adventure!). 🚗 ​​Parking Pro Tip​​ AllTrails marks a roadside lot, but ​​SUVs can drive further up the FSR​​ (saves 1-2km hiking). How far? Depends on your ride! ❤️ ​​Why You'll Love It​​ ✅ ​​Diverse Scenery:​​ Alpine lakes, wildflower meadows, snow-capped peaks, and ​​360° summit views​​ of glacial lakes. ✅ ​​High Reward/Low Effort:​​ Epic vistas start right at the lake—no boring sections! ✅ ​​Flexible Options:​​ ​​Casual hikers:​​ Stop at the lake (no pass required). ​​Campers:​​ Lakeside spots (first-come, first-served ⛺). 🪨 ​​Difficulty Check​​ ​​vs. Panorama Ridge (PR):​​ Rohr has ​​trickier terrain​​ (rocks, route-finding) but ​​shorter distance/elevation​​ than PR.
