Should I do something else and get my heart rate up--elliptical trainer, exercise bike--or just keep on walking?

I can run a little, but I have to be careful because of my knees. I find using the incline on the treadmill while walking at a brisk pace (3.6 - 3.9 mph) to be a great workout. It gets the heart rate up without the pounding on the knees. Do the treamills you use have an incline function?
The best part about going up hills is riding back down!
