Take route 191 south out of Jackson to Rock Springs and continue south on 191 to Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area. Take the tour of the dam. IIRC it was free. Others will suggest camping there, we just drove on. Continue to Vernal for Dinosaur National Monument to see the bone wall. Continue on 191 to I70 east to 191 to Moab. Arches and the Island in the Sky portions of Canyonlands are right there. Before leaving moab take a 1/2 day trip up route 128 along the Colorado River as far as Fisher Towers. Go back up 191 to I70 west to route 24 south. Stop at Goblin Valley State Park. Continue on 24 to Capital Reef NP. Try for the Fruita campground in the Park. If not, Thousand Lakes RV Park in nearby Torrey was great. Take route 12 from Torrey to Kodachrome State Park and Bryce Canyon NP. Continue through Red Canyon to route 89 south to route 9 into Zion NP. Return on 9 to 89 south to 89A to Jacob Lake for the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Nice Forest Service campground at Jacob Lake and another on route 67 near the North Rim entrance station. Continue on 89A past the Vermilion Cliffs to join route 89 south to route 64 to the South Rim.
Good scenic routes with minimal interstate highways and at least two weeks of activities. Enjoy!
