Hey Ben,  

You've got a pretty good idea going of what to see already, but I would also add in checking out some of the 14ers out there.  One that is very close to the sand dunes is Mt. Blanca, I believe.  Climbed it about 10 years ago - nothing like being 14,000 feet up high - you can see the whole divide from on top.  Of course, its a pretty long, tiring hike, but if you're able-bodied its worth it.  I lived in Co. Springs and Boulder, so more familiar with those areas - but you're in for a treat where you are going.  Now I'm out east (sigh), have fun!

Peace,
Marla

Subject: CO trip recommendations?
  
Hi all,
We're going to take a couple of weeks and drive around CO, see some of the
things we've always intended to see.  We're thinking (not necessarily in
this order):  Glenwood Springs, Dinosaur NM, Grand Junction wineries,
Telluride, Mesa Verde, Sand Dunes NM, Royal Gorge.

So, any and all input is requested, i.e. favorite nice roads to drive, good
and/or free campgrounds, good books on CO, other things in the western part
of the state we should see, etc.

Thanks, and talk to you soon,
bmc  :)
