I stand by my statement in reply to "colo can be a nice relief (cool) in august/september"
Colorado (the plains, not the mountains; note the caveat "If you're not in the mountains") can indeed be brutally hot in August, particularly if you don't stay indoors in, or have, air conditioning. Comparing it to, for example, Arizona, is pointless. Stating that August can be "cool" is simply wrong, unless you make it clear that 5000 feet elevation is very different from a mountain town at 8000 feet.

I guess it is how you define "brutally." Can there but a hot day in August? Of course, but on the whole Colorado is pretty mild with low humidity which makes hot days very tolerable.
On this one, Sylvia, you wrong. August can be cool and often is. There has been summer when the temperature was never over a hundred. And comparing to Arizona or other local where the temperature frequently climbs pass a hundred is exactly the point.

The main venue is semipermanent, semioutdoors; walkable from many parts of town. Outstanding talent of all kinds, reasonable tickets, and of course the area is incredibly scenic. In the summer, Independence Pass (don't forget to visit the Grottos), the Maroon Bells, Castle Creek to Conundrum; outdoor recreation choices are innumerable, and there's a wide range of lodging types and prices.
