Mount Rogers is situated at the north end of the Hermit Range, and is the highest point of the range. Its nearest higher peak is Mount Sir Donald, 12.57km (07.81miles) to the southeast.

The Rogers massif includes five individually-named summits: Rogers Peak, Grant Peak, Fleming Peak, Swiss Peak, and Truda Peaks.[3] Numerous glaciers radiate from all sides, including the Rogers Glacier, Swiss Glacier, Tupper Glacier, and Hermit Glacier.

The first ascent of the mountain was made on July 31, 1896 by Phillip S. Abbott, George T. Little, and Charles S. Thompson.[1]
The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1932 when approved by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[2]
