They are not as big as thistles! (And not as prickly.) They are usually called Indian Paintbrush, although I think these particular ones are a closely-related variety. A very common flower in our mountains.
This area btw is about 3/4 of the way toward Silverton, which is where the tourist train I am recommending goes. The wildflowers will be gone when you are here, but there will hopefully be aspen and oak leaves in color, and snow on the mountain tops.
(I got your msg about dates and times, and they all look fine to me. EEE!)
