I need suggestions on places to stop between Denver and Vegas - we do have Bryce and Zion on the list, but is there anywhere else that is a must see?

Depends on when you are going. In that area, I love the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Much different and more laid back than south rim. Better views, IMO. It's closed in winter though.

What route are you taking?

Salt Lake City
Mesa Verda National Park

If you are going I 70 through Colorado, even though it is a pretty drive, get south off the interstate some. Maybe cut down through Aspen and across Independence Pass. Then go north to Breckenridge and back to the interstate.

After you get to Denver, Rocky Mountain to the north is well worth your time. Once again, it depends on when you are going. Trail Ridge Road (across top) closes in winter---usually by early October.

This is totally against the rules and you are extremely irritating. I hope all of the posters hear reserve limos with you and later challenge the charges on their credit cards.

If you are going out on 70. drop down 191 to Arches and Canyonlands and then head over to Bryce through Capitol Reef.

emalloy has the right idea, but instead of taking 191, exit at Cisco and take scenic byway 128 into Moab. Arches and Canyonlands are great but you will want to spend a day at each. You didn't mention how much time you had for this trip. Another idea if you are stopping at Bryce and Zion is from I-70 to head down Hwy 24 to Capitol Reef National Park and Torrey, Utah and then scenic highway 12 to Bryce.

There's a lot to do between Denver and Las Vegas so know you're time frame would be helpful.

The deleted post was some jerk topping every thread with Denver in it. The OP was in 2012.
