You can plan to hit the Utah area on your way home in spring although even March and April will still be cold. Good luck finding your place!
But February is much too early in the spring for those areas to be comfortable camping/hiking/biking destinations (again, as others have said, check the altitudes of the areas you are interested in visiting). If you are going to the Four Corners states to avoid the cold and snow of Canada, you won't avoid it in Utah and Colorado in February or early March. In fact, March is Colorado's snowiest month!
