I hear ya. You didn't have Utah in your list. Southern Utah to be exact. You can make a loop to pick up:
Arches National Park
Canyonlands National Park
Dead Horse Point State Park
Four Corners
Monument Valley
Glen Canyon
Horseshoe Bend
Marble Canyon
Vermillion Cliffs National Monument
Grand Canyon North Rim
---Although the lodge burned down
Zion National Park
Cedar Breaks National Monument
Bryce Canyon National Park (Gotta be top 2 or 3 favorite)
Utah Highway 12 Scenic Byway
Grand Canyon South Rim (would be a long drive)
Every day is spectacular. Great bang for your buck. You don't need Banff with this trip.
(Although Banff/Jasper is still my all-time favorite place to be.)
