Well, we are only stopping in Denver for a night with friends (ie, free nights lodging) before heading north toward Boulder, Steamboat, Breckenridge, or Cheyenne. Its wide open right now. Any ideas are appreciated. I know Breckenridge and Steamboat from skiing, but I really don't know the National Parks and their photo ops.

You did not say how much time you have but Rocky Mountain National Park is just a hop, skip, and a jump from Denver. Neither my wife and I are into shopping at all, so I don't know if Estes Park area meets your wife's shopping criteria, though. Of course just a few hours west of Steamboat Springs is Dinosaur National Park and Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area. I really like both, but RMNP is probably more photogenic unless you are lucky enough to get commercial rafting reservations.
