Robinson Mountain is a hard out-and-back hike in the Rexford Ranger District of Kootenai National Forest in northern Montana. The route starts at trailhead 59 and climbs from about 5,109 feet to a high point of 7,534 feet, with a total elevation gain of 1,043 feet. The trail's natural surface and its status as a forest service route make it a straightforward outing for anyone heading into the Kootenai. The trail is about 7 miles long, and it stays open from June 1 through October 15. Bikes are allowed, so the climb can be tackled on two wheels as well as on foot. Several other destinations sit within a few miles. Young Creek and Geneva Lake are both hikes about 2 miles away, and the Dodge Summit Trail is a little farther. Caribou Campground, roughly 5 miles off, offers a place to stay overnight.
