Durango, or any part of western Colorado, has a better chance of being cooler than Texas, than any place you might go in August in the Carolinas. But that's just statistics, probabilities, no promises. It is continental climate, temperature might swing 40-80 F anywhere, any day of the year, so there's always a chance that the day you pull into Durango it might be hotter that day than where you had been in Texas.
On day in July in the mid 70s, a town in the U.P. of Michigan was the hottest place in the continental U.S. for a few hours, when a Gulf air mass got pushed too far north. Then it dropped 70F overnight as the storm came through. So anything can happen. I remember, because I was there that week.
