Help me plan a climbing trip!

What about Tahoe/Lover's Leap?

Cool, thanks all.

Looks like either Thaquitz, Tuolumne, or maybe Eldorado canyon. Tuolumne looks like it won't be too hot. Can't really hack it over 100 degrees!

I second whoever mentioned RMNP. I've climbed at most of the other places mentioned and I think RMNP offers you the best option for a ten day trip. Lots of varied stuff to do there. Ten days are a bit much for some of the other places like Tahquitz (not Thaquitz)or Eldo. I would get bored in these places after a week due to lack of variety.

Good advice....

And, yeah, the Red in July is completely tolerable by my standards. So, I'm not sure how "hot" is really too hot for some of these western places. Climbed in Hueco in July once--definitely too hot there. Never doing that again.

Was also thinking about Tucson area, as I know there's lots of elevation to escape the heat if necessary.

I would look no further than these five areas, they all have their own feel so do some research and you won't be disappointed.
-Bugaboos
-Wind river range
-Sierra
-Tetons
