Where to stop between Yellowstone and Denver
After visiting Yellowstone, I will be visiting family just south of Denver. It looks like the distance is close to 600 mi and I would prefer to limit the miles traveled closer to 300 to 350. Any good ...

Most of the suggestions so far are going to take you quite a bit out of your way.
Saratoga is nice, but it will take you off the quickest route (but the Saratoga route will be more scenic).
If you just want a spot on the way, and are going I25, I would suggest Glendo WY. There is a State Park there along the lake, and it is not far off I25. Guernsey is another State Park with camping. There is Register Rock (or cliff?) where the pioneers signed their names, and also some of the old wagon ruts from the Oregon Trail.
I can't think of anywhere that would be mid distance where you would really want to spend a lot of the day.
