Lucky You - Great time to be in Colorado - you will be fine, just don't get in a hurry - couple other things to be sure are on the schedule - Buena Vista and the Collegiates - Crested Butte - Ouray and Lake City - Alpine Loop - Marble - Redstone - Maroon Bells - Silverton.
As others have suggested look into RT 24 out of The Springs - little tight in the beginning but the drive out is great as you can see the Collegiates as soon as you come out of the Mountains - Just Beautiful, and the Arkansas River is there waiting for you, along with Q's and Quincy's.
If you were to stay for a few nights in Buena Vista you could drive over RT82 to Aspen/Independence Pass/Maroon Bells for a day trip in the Toad (RT82 is a restricted road, but a beautiful day Drive)
Biggest problem you might face is just not enough time to drive More of the Great Roads in the SouthWest part of Colorado.
Take 1,000's of pictures and report back.
Best of Luck,
