For most of the trip going up the left side is better. I rode the cog railway a few years ago. I was lucky to get a seat on the left side of the very front row. Across from me was the driver.

Be sure to try the high altitude donuts at the top. They are great.
 
Gonna be riding up to Pike's Peak and back this Thursday, wondered if anyone could share a preference to which side has a better view, if any. Thanks.
They assigned seats when I rode it several years ago.The mountain goats were on the right side going up.The windows are large for good views and photos.Half the seats face backwards anyhow.

Why do they walk up? If I were them, I would just save energy and buy a ticket - and ride up!
