	Voted 10/10	I heard "the train" was the best way to go. My brother took it several years ago, and said it was a blast. Myself? I tend to avoid tourists whenever I can !!!

	Voted 10/10	I've done the cog railway twice and it's fun/scenic but you do need reservations most days (can be done online). I wanted to ride up and hike down but no one else agreed to do it!!! You get about 40 minutes on top and then ride down. There's also a special race every year testing the race cars. It's quite competitive.
