to take a drive up Pikes Peak is amazing I recommend it to anyone that comes here. my recommendation is that you rent a car though it's hard on your brakes. take a picnic lunch and take your time going up there's lots of beautiful scenery to see and lots of places to stop and walk around and let your body actual mate to the altitude I find it way more enjoyable and taking the Cog train. but if you want to take the Cog train and not have to drive it is a wonderful substitute.

this is a wonderful Adventure that you can take as a couple or a family you can take the train which is an old-fashioned steam engine type train early in the morning and have breakfast on it or I do believe that you can take it at lunch time but the most exciting one to invest in is to take the evening dinner train with the mystery murder it is about $100 per person. But it is well worth the price. It is a mystery murder where you have to figure out who did it and why with an an amazing delicious dinner with it as your writing on the train
