Alternative 30 days south west roadtrip route! Opinions please!

[Skymaster10]

Hello everybody! I'm new on this forum hence I need some advice for my roadtrip. In July 2014 we will be going on a roadtrip (me and two friends). I'm 21 and my friends 22! Our budget is like 4000 euro's (+- 5400$). This budget is 4000 for every individual! And it includes the spending for the group (car rent, gasoline) and the individual spending (shopping, hotel's, restaurants etc.)

Our discussion point is the route, almost everybody does the well known southwest trip. This is like: SF, yosemite, sequioa, la, death valley, las vegas, zion, bryce, grand canyon and after that all the way back again. Now we came up with the idea to go to the rocky mountain national park, to salt lake city, and after that back to bryce national park. From bryce we go back to Las vegas - Death valley - Bakersfield - Route 1 along the coast etc.

To give you a perspective I made a route on google maps. The only problem is that my google maps didn't work on the way back from Las Vegas. But i also made a description of the route including the km's.

And the route:
