Snowfall has been lean in UT this year, so the snow may melt off and the flowers blooming a little early this year. Some ideas for the central Utah area:
So have you done the Alpine Loop (UT 92) on the back side of Mt. Timpanogos? Narrow, curvy road so no place to tow, but great scenery. There's also a nice road on the back side of Mt. Nebo. These are drives you could make out of Nephi.
Another scenic byway is Utah 150 up past Mirror Lake. Very busy on weekends with traffic out of SLC. Gorgeous scenery though.
If you do go up past Bear Lake on UT 89, do stop at Ricks Spring right along the highway. Interesting cave with a good flow of water coming out of it.
You've got a year to plan, so I'm sure you'll come up with a lot more ideas!
