Going to Estes Park w/o reservations means you'll get there and not have a place to stay. Not worth the stress.
Colorado Springs is pretty low on my list of places to go in CO. Lots of traffic and you're really not in the mountains.
My recommendation is to head up US 50 out of Pueblo to Salida and explore the upper Arkansas Valley from Salida all the way north to Leadville. US 50 follows the river so there's really not much in the way of "mountain driving", although the road snakes along the meandering river. There's a ton to do in that area and you're actually among the mountains, not on the plains looking up at them.
