Tristan... I would second or third the black canyon.

Also, something that may be even closer to you is the Sandias in New Mexico. https://www.mountainproject.com/v/sandia-mountains/105788177 Although down in ABQ it may be hot at that time it is actually very pleasant up in the Sandias. It's an alpine environment overlooking a major city. It may even be an option for you to stop by there for a couple days on the way out of OK or on the way back to OK.

Just FYI take it from a transplanted southerner that "hot" to a Coloradan is anything in the sun and temperatures greater than 50 degrees. 

Haha. To me that sounds like just barely warm enough to climb. 70s or 80s are pretty much perfect, 90s are tolerable, and anything under 60 is cold weather climbing.

The winds or the black would be great options in my opinion. Also, while you're at it, independence pass offers some amazing cragging and multi pitch in an alpine setting. Lots of options, and you're a couple hours from the black, and a few hours from Rocky Mountain national park! Enjoy your trip, L
