Drive around to the Leadville side and climb Mt Massive or Mt Elbert, depending on your experience and ambition. They are the two highest peaks in CO. I'm 1 for 2 with Massive, failing the first time due to altitude headaches, but succeeding the second time by camping at tree line for a couple days before taking the summit. Most locals can do it in a single day hike. I even saw some insane super marathoners run up the damn thing, which was pretty humbling.

Looks rad! But as a group I'd rate our fitness level as "average" and our ambition perhaps a bit lower than that

Twin Lakes is a few miles outside Leadville and there are cabins on the lake for rent. If you are planning on being around Leadville I would check that out. We stayed there in the winter though when the lake was frozen. It has to be awesome in July.
