Chris, We recommend the Durango,CO area. A great park is Blue Spruce at Lake Vallecito that is about 25 miles east of Durango. It is at 8000 feet and it will not be hot. What can you do? Hike either the Vallecito Creek trail or the Pine River trail, bring your bikes and ride around the lake or ride in Durango, day trip to Silverton, day trip to Mesa Verde, fish in the lake. Of course, we always spend a few days in Santa Fe on the trip--same activity, hike, bike, eat, golf, day trip to Los Alamos, Bandalier Nat. Mon., trip to Taos, drive up to the ski area for really great views and hiking. Let me know if you need more info.
