That sounds very busy but alot of fun. Last summer I made it out West on a nice road trip. We spent time in Glaciar National Park up in Montana, drove through Yellowstone, and spent a weekend on the Oregon coast. The Oregon coast is very cool. There are some very interesting areas along the coast.
The Rockies are awesome. It is so different to drive around them compared to anything out East or in the mid-west. I haven’t been to the Grand Canyon or Salt Lake so I can’t comment but I bet they will be interesting.
