This was a much better option than the cog train. Due to blowing snow and high winds, park rangers wouldn’t allow travel past mile 13 (11,330 ft) out of 19 (14,300), but we were able to stop and take photos on the way up and down, and we spent 30 minutes at the gift shop at the top, unlike those who took the cog train (they only allowed attendees to open the windows once at their highest altitude, but they were not allowed to exit the train). It was very personalized experience, James was very friendly and knowledgeable, and we would do it again.
