If you're passing through NM, consider stopping to see White Sands NM. Nearby is also the New Mexico Museum of Space History in Alamogordo. Heading west, you'll probably be going through AZ so a trip to Sedona would be worth it before heading off to GC.
All these great suggestions everyone is posting means we will have to leave a week earlier than I anticipated!
We visited Alamogordo once about 25 years ago (our SIL was stationed in Alamogordo) and we had a brief visit to the dunes but did not know about the museum. I recall our drive from there to Phoenix, I put the car radio on scan and for a long time it kept scanning, never found a station.
