How funny... I just posted to you about the baseball trip on your thread a second ago!
August anywhere is hot, but we don't have the humidity that you do. You can get some very pleasant days or really hot ones... you just never know!
Pueblo is about 90 miles south of Denver, and it tends to be 5-10 degrees hotter down there. If you're a state fair kind of guy, you'll enjoy it... I've never been there myself, so I couldn't compare to others.
Let's see. What to do in Denver if you're alive...
The Coors Brewery in Golden is fun. The aquarium is in LoDo, near Coors Field. There is the US Mint downtown, though I'm not sure if they are taking visitors--they closed after 9/11, but I think they might be back up and running.
Depending on the weekend, there are a variety of festivals and events that are scheduled up in the high country... Keystone, Winter Park, Lake Dillon, Vail. You can take a gondola ride at most of them to the top and eat in restaurants at the peak.
You can go mountain biking in almost all places here.
And Glenwood Springs is about 2.5-3 hours west of Denver--natural hot springs pools and caves.
Colorado Springs is on the way to Pueblo... they have the AF Academy and the US Olympic HQ.
If you like to golf, you can indulge to your heart's content.
Growing up on the east coast, I can honestly say with confidence that August here is much more tolerable than August there (at least in the DC area).
If you tell me what piques your interest, I can delve deeper...
I hope you have a dynamite trip, regardless of your side trips! Sounds like you deserve a huge break from life in NY.
Let me know!
