Moab should be fine in the summer if you ride in the La Sals. Much cooler than the lower areas although with an early start, it can be manageable.
Flagstaff. Drop into a bike shop and get the trail maps for the local areas. We rode in May and above 8000' was actually cool. Good boon docking ares in forest above town.
Ride up Schutz creek and after that lots of trails.
Red Canyon SP. Rode the Thunder Mt. Circle route. We had snow in May so it should be fine in the summer. Higher than Bryce.
Come on up to BC. Rossland has the seven peaks circuit. Revelstoke has McPherson trails as well as Frizzbee ridge and Keystone basin as well as many downhill areas
Sun Peaks near Kamloops is a high altitude ski area that has both downhill and cross country MTB.
Silver Star in Vernon is also a great downhill/cross country area and there are good riding area at Elison PP and Kalamalka PP..
Salmon Arm is near the start of the Larch hills Traverse, from Canoe to Sicamous. A knarly 4 to 6 hour climb through the mountain forest.
Pass through Kelowna, good riding on the Kettle railway to Myra Canyon from the cross country ski area plus great riding in West Kelowna.
Whistler/Pemberton area, world famous downhill/cross country riding in spectacular coastal scenery.
On to Vancouver with the North Shore, where it all started more than 30 years ago. Something for everyone.
