If you get a chance, try hitting up Grand Teton and Yellowstone on your way back up too.
As for SLC vs. Denver, I've only been to the former, and even though I'm not a Mormon, the Temple and all the history attached to it is pretty cool. Floating in Great Salt Lake is also an experience, although try not to put your shirt on right afterwards. If you're into minor league (AAA) baseball, the park in Salt Lake has a gorgeous view, I watched a Buzz/Cannons series there oh about 10 years ago.
