DO NOT take E-470 around Denver. It's a toll road and will cost you over $60 in tolls that you'll get a bill for later (license plate toll) if you take it all the way around the Denver area. Just stay on I-25 and go straight through.

There is always a personal dimension to choices about route, but I would go (as I did a couple of years ago) through New Mexico and Colorado rather than through Oklahoma and Kansas.
As an example. First night to Amarillo, 365 miles (instead of 450 to Salina). (via US 287)
Second night, Raton Pass Campground, a delightful place for an overnight, 267 miles, an easy drive.
Third night, in the area of Cheyenne, WY, a drive of 311 miles.
Arrive at Custer, SD with 248 miles.
This would be a better route for me. There are many variations on overnight stops, but these would work.
