Recommendation for some destination to visit in Utah, Wyoming, Colorado area?

[TurkeyChicken]

A buddy and I are planning another long road trip over Labor day weekend.  I live in Albuquerque, NM and he lives in Denver, CO.  Last time we rode, he came down to ABQ and then we went to Vegas.  This time i'm going to ride up there but we haven't figured out where to ride to yet.

We're looking for a ride that's probably 1,000-1,200 miles round trip (from Denver).  It's something that we need to be able to do in 3 days.

If anyone has suggestions, please post them up!

sweet.  anyone else with some recommendations?  Fort collins is only 60 miles or so north of Denver.  Maybe we could stop there along the way to somewhere else

Colorado - hell, anywhere.  Drive through Raton Pass in way southern Colorado and continue up I-25.  Go through the Springs, look at Manitou, Old Colorado City, Garden of the Gods, and enjoy one of the best rides of your life.  Go up I-24 through Woodland Park and see some of the most beautiful passes in America.  Basically I am biased as I live there, but If you want some great touristy stuff, we have tons!

Haven't done it yet.  It's on my list of future upgrades.

I was going to use this as a basis for the upgrade:

Yellowstone & Grand Teton, if you're looking for scenery/wildlife. Not a good place to ride fast, and don't tick off the wildlife when they take over the road. But darned nice country, and boiling water shooting out of the ground.

Zion, Bryce, Arches out Utah way if you're looking for the dry rocky sort of thing, though Zion is a bit greener than the other two.

Of course, likely to be busy on Labor Day weekend, I'd guess.
