Congrats on the tag draw!! You'll have to keep us all updated on how the trip goes. When we did our last Colorado trip, it was all on foot, in a wilderness area, about the same time of year as your trip. So, as mentioned above, if you have animals bringing you in, weight is much less of an issue. I was trying to go nice and light, so I went with the Enlightened Equipment Prodigy 20 degree quilt, and an Exped sleeping pad. The quilt was just about perfect. We woke up several mornings with frost at around 10,500ft and I was plenty warm in just a thin base layer. Exped makes a ton of different pads, from very light, to big duo pads that are very thick. Their website is very helpful , as you can choose your desired weight and R-rating to narrow down your pad of choice. I believe those are worth a look at least. There are a ton of lightweight sleeping bag / quilt options out there today along with tons of great pad options. These are just what worked for me and my budget. Happy hunting!
