[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 on Yellowstone, and don't overlook flying into Cody and driving through Yellowstone and Grand Tetons to Jackson Hole (and leaving from there). Cody has a great museum of the West and a rodeo and is much more representative of the "real" Wyoming than Jackson is. We also went to Therompolis, which has a cool water park fed by hot springs; there is a former WW2 internment camp nearby that might be interesting for teenagers.[/quote]

This is a good suggestion for a "western" feel + the restaurants/accommodations you seek.

Denver+Glenwood+moab is a bit odd = Moab has amazing scenery and is very red rock.  Glenwood is small with a very crowded mineral pool - I would get out of Denver and stay in Vail (yes seriously) instead as it is less expensive in summer and in the mountains with great beginner hikes plus great restaurants + accomodations.  You can take the gondola to the top of the mountain and hike and then enjoy a great meal - same with Jackson, WY and other mountain villages.

You could also look at Durango, CO which has a fun western vibe turning (turned, like boulder) into hipster area with lots of restaurants.

National park accomodations - not luxe accommodations but interesting with imho Yellowstone (Old Faithful Inn) and Yosemite being really interesting.  You won't have many restaurant options IN national parks but staying IN the national parks is crucial to enjoyment and getting out and seeing sights before crowds arrive.
