My feelings about the tram are not as strong as Kevin's but my memories of the spot are strong. In high school it was a favored make out spot for me and a gf. I think that must have been before the sign came back into vogue; we could be up there for a long time and never get interrupted. I don’t recall the walk as being strenuous (but I had other things on my mind).
Maybe they should have the Visitors Center at the origin, and just have a gondola ride that takes people up for a close view but does not let people get out?
