I picked August 12-26 as the dates we would go .. and guess what, that darn eclipse thingy is passing right over the park and everyone is going there. Garden of the Gods is a great day hike location. The main trail is very accessable, extremely pretty, but can be crowded. The more senic trails are nice too, and rather less crowded. The Air Force Academy is cool if you like planes or MilHist. Mesa Verde is so awesome. Very cool place with great rangers, lots of hikes of all lengths, lots to see besides the Cliff Dwellings. Definitely try to stay at the hotel, it's super chill. I unfortunately had a massive sinus infection last time I was there, but still managed to enjoy myself. The little hospital at the bottom of the mesa is also very nice. The Rockies of course, but I have no personal opinions on it as I was high as hell on codine and suffering altitude sickness when we drove through.

It was my first national park and ever since then I've been hooked... Oh man seconding Dunes I forgot that was in Colorado too. Totally worth at least a day trip, very neat place.

The sand dunes sound awesome, I'll make sure we fit that in. Thanks for the info! Let us know how it goes! Take pics, and Don forget to take it easy at first. Hydrate hydrate hydrate and moisturize.
