That's pretty easy: go west til you find some bumps in the ground - those would be the Rocky Mountains, then turn left. There are not that many roads to pick from and you can't really go wrong as long as you stay off the Interstate highways - like the 15. Of course, you'll want to pick roads that will take you through Galcier, Jellystone/Grand Teton parks and then continue on to Colorado. No famous parks there, but great riding. From there head towards Utah for Canyonlands, Escalante, Zion, Bryce and north rim of the Grand Canyon. Get a map that shows National forest lands - you can camp anywhere in those for free. Of course, you'll need to be self-sufficient: bring water, food, and carry out your trash, but I always enjoy that much more than regular campgrouds where you pay for the privelege of listening to someone's generator. The national forests all have numerous fire roads that are great for that sort of thing. In the Parks you'll have to stay in the "real" campgrounds as you can't "free camp" unless you do some backpacking.
