I agree with ksg5000: visit Capitol Reef NP, Bryce & Zion. Three great NP's in Utah and all worth visiting. Make sure you go to the historic little store at Capitol Reef and get the homemade pies and even scones made by a Scotsman! You may also consider stopping in Palm Springs/Indio area for a few days. Paso Robles and wine country rv park is worth a visit, particularly far out wineries. Then go up the coast to Big Sur and Monterey on highway 1. Scenic drive and narrow in some places but easier going north. Do the 17 mile loop around Monterey & Pebble Beach. On the coast just west of Paso Robles visit the Hearst Mansion, San Simeon. If you can fit it in and plan a route, Yosemite and Sequoia NP worth a visit. Monument Valley is good for a quick stop and a few pictures, but not much more. Roads are not that great.
Here is a rough idea of a route I would take: Denver I-70 west to Moab exit. Back to I-70 then on to Capitol Reef, Bryce and Zion. From Zion get on I-15 south through Las Vegas, to Bakersfield and Paso Robles. Then over to Highway 1 and up the coast towards San Francisco. The Grand Canyon is spectacular, but it takes you a few miles out of your way. If you have the time, go there from Bryce then back to Zion.
