Cardiovascular and Strength Training Trail
I drove out my campsite, Glacier Nalu around 6:30 am to find a drive thru coffee house. Parked my rental in the free parking lot on the corner of 8 th street and Basin Road. Walked on Basin Rd to find Mt Robert’s Trailhead sign. The morning was not sunny and inviting, It was foggy ... but it was not windy or raining. The trail is well marked, comfortable and steep. If you are not comfortable with hills or walking upstairs, you will feel it. Personally, I view walking uphill as an ideal workout. The heart and lungs feel it, the leg and derrière muscles feel it. Cardiovascular and strength training in one session. Once, I reached the tram with snow on the ground, I turn back to head down the trail. An elderly man was hiking up with ease and strength. I stopped to sincerely compliment him on his hiking abilities.. He rewarded me with a genuine soulful smile.

Quick beautiful hike
1 hour and 40 minutes from cruise ship to mountain top tram. Some steep steps, and pretty muddy. Come prepared with comfortable hiking clothes—you’ll get sweaty. Some nice views and a good alternative to the cost of a round trip tram ride (~$35). $15 one way down on the tram, but can be substituted for $15 shop and/or restaurant purchase. They didn’t check our tram tickets/receipts though. A good active activity after lounging around the ship!
