Colorado in July

Colorado springs has garden of the gods which is paved and a very easy walk. Also the royal gorge bridge is in that area.

Glenwood springs has rafting and hot springs. Definitely drive trailhead road through the rockies and have a picnic at one of the stops at high elevation

We did a Jeep tour in July, it was pretty great. He does half day or full day, you drive his jeep and follow him, he will tailor the route to your expierience level. Jeep Tours Colorado by Native Jeeps just outside Idaho Springs. when you're done, head into Idaho Springs for some Pizza at Beau Jo's.

Pikes Peak, Mt Blue Sky, both were fun. We did the train on Pikes Peak and drove Blue Sky. You have to get tickets in advance for Blue Sky to drive, they only allow a certain amount of traffic, you'll see why if you drive it. Of course Pikes Peak train you need advance tickets, park and take the bus up to the terminal.
