But if you're here in July, dont miss the 4th Fireworks show in Silverton.
Now your really speakin my language! So, mid july through mid august. These towns link up pretty good. Durango w/4 breweries, silverton w/1 brewery&1distillery, ouray-2 breweries, ridgeway - 1 brewery, telluride w/2 breweries, dolores - 1 brewery and back to durango where the viscious cycle can begin again. By the way if you dont want to staya on the highway you can damn near drive the whole loop on some old mining roads and county roads. Good luck with your plans.

Summer months (July/August) are great to hit the mountains. Very tolerable temps, mostly dry. But if you want to climb to 10k ft plus expect random weather.
There are a ton of great breweries all over CO like others have stated. The best part is the beer culture here is top notch similar to that in the PNW. Just go to a brewery and chat with the staff, they won't lead in the wrong direction.
If you plan on stopping in Denver hit up the Wynkoop. I'll buy you some beers Maybe hit up a Rockies game.
Just make sure you know where you want to go. There are some wilderness areas where you need a camp permit etc.
P.S. Don't be afraid when you feel like you want to move here. Like many bumper stickers read "I got here as fast as I could"
