Anyone been? My in-laws are coming and want to go up to Pikes Peak. They rally want to take the train. Its $30 per person and you only get to stay up there for 30 minutes. I went to check the train out today and man they pack them in like Sardines.

Just curious what the benefit of driving up versus taking the train up? I don't mind paying the money if the 1.15 minute ride is worth it.

1. Save $90 bucks
2. Better view on the train?

Thanks for any advice.
