Thanks for the feedback, UT.

Yes, Mt Washington and Pikes Peak are both rabidly recommended.
You have to keep in mind your experience is largely affected by weather.
It's not like a Museum where you can allocate an afternoon on a set day in your schedule. You may arrive, go right up, and have a great time. But you may have to wait till morning and possibly till the day after tomorrow. So it's good to plan on spending a couple days doing shit in the area and watch for windows in the weather forecasts.
