Hi, Julie,
Here is a Fact Sheet on xeriscape ground covers that do well in Colorado.

Here is a discussion of another thyme plant, Thymus praecox, which is on the list above. It has some helpful information.

Finally, here is another list for Colorado ground covers.

I would suggest reading through the lists and trying some that sound good. Maybe even do a couple and compare how well they compete with the ice plant.
Hope this helps!
