Neat architecture, concessions doesn't accept cash though. Didn't care much for the hot chocolate or donuts, bought some kitsch, used the bathroom.
Cinnamon sugar donuts were good! Coffee was like warm. But it’s a must do at the top of Pikes Peak 14,115 feet above sea level!
Pro tip: Long line when cog train disembarks, wander around and see the views then go on- will be no line at all.
