We took a ride on the Cog a number of years ago and it was well worth the price -- an experience unlike many others. And while you will do well to look for Canadian Highs, the weather on Mount Washington is unpredictable on any day. We arrived for the first train of the day in a foggy, soupy mess at the base that had us questioning the trip. About a third of the way up the weather broke and it was beautiful. I'm not a fan of heights and was queasy at the rim of the Grand Canyon, but didn't have any trouble on the Cog or summit. Bring layers including a hat or hood -- 40s in August with a wind on the summit feel MUCH different than 40s in March or April in the foothills.

Please let us know how it went after your trip!
