I would add stopping outside Chamberlain SD to see the statue named "Dignity". It is emblematic of the strength and beauty of not only the Lakota Sioux women but of all our First Nations People. It can be seen from I-90.
Dignity, Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse are the big three of statuary and a beautiful tribute to South Dakota.
I will differ in the opinion of some, Mt. Rushmore is worth an overnight or two. The big three of course, Rushmore and Crazy Horse both have night time shows, excellent. If you are a veteran, be prepared to go down to the stage and represent us during the closing of the show. The Needles Hwy is worth a drive, Wind Cave is very interesting and Custer State Park is a mecca for plains animal viewing.
In CO, a stop at Pueblo is very interesting. There is the Arkansas Riverwalk and Walks Among Stars is only one attraction. It is also emblematic of the Sioux women.

Ah! Now the Big Ditch as it is sometimes called. While it will be warm, okay HOT, it is at about 7000 feet on the South Rim and there are so many things to see and do. The Kolb Studio is one of my favorites, the Walk of Ages on the rim trail is a timeline of evolution, the Fossil Beds, Ranger Talks, The Lodge, the Ice Cream next to the Lodge. Mary Coulter's fireplace, her watch tower is being re-imagined as a representation of the lives and crafts of the tribes that call the canyon home. The North Rim is cooler and as beautiful at the South but totally different. The restaurant at Jacob's Lake has some great cookies, breakfast wasn't bad either. I would not bother with the Skywalk outside the Park, $150 for two to walk out over the Canyon on a glass floored horseshoe shape path is not for me.
Hope these are POIs to your interest.
