I presume the latter part is normal for the cold start mechanism but the 500-600 bit seems weird.
I just moved to Colorado where the highest rated gas I can find is 91, but that alone wouldn't be bad enough to cause this, right? Can anyone comment on what the cold start mechanism normally is and if mine is indeed abnormal?

That is not a typical cold start. Should idle around 1500-2000 depending on temp immediately after starting and then after about 15-20 seconds, drops to around 1200-1500 and then about 30-60 seconds later it settles lower.
