Just a note to locate a few additional cog railways.  There is one which
takes you to the top of Pikes Peak, just west of Colorado Springs, • Colorado.
(Larry, that is 2.5 hours from Lakewood, without rush hour traffic.)  I've
never ridden this one personally, the altitude (greater than 14,000 ft) • gets to
me.

Interesting ride.  Pretty good view.  Lousy doughnuts.  Take it once, drive
up if you go again.  It's not like much is going to change (the tour guide's
jokes sure don't).  Don't forget your jacket.
