Or come a little south and see Kolob Canyon NM. At the top you can see into the backside of Zion's. Beautiful little Spyder ride. Some of this stuff will be on the agenda at the rally but there is so much you can't see it all so going to some before wont ruin the rally for you.
Hope that gives you some ideas.
If you go south out of Monticello and come thru Kanab stop at Nedra's for lunch. back in the day all the movie stars making westerns ate there. Great drive but much more mountains that way.
What's wrong with the mountains? They're beautiful to ryde through.

Flat Ground
Avoid I-70 if you don't like the mountains. It is very mountainous in Colorado and eastern Utah all the way to I-15. I have traveled east from St. George Utah many, many times and If you want a flat easy ride in the RV pulling the Spyder you will want to take I-80 to Utah and then make your way south to St. George via I-15.
See ya at Red Rocks. You will enjoy the area here with all our National Parks and scenic rides. Zion's National Park, Bryce Canyon, North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Snow Park State Park, and much much more.

I-80 as others have said will be the smoother path for RV and trailer
Or I-40 to the south and then up. Mountain highways including I-70 get congested thru Colorado. Great to cruise on the Spyder, but not so much with RV and trailer unless you're traveling on more of the "shoulder" seasons.

I-70 through Glenwood canyon is one of the most scenic interstates around. Have your wife ride the Spyder through it while you follow in the RV.

Take a virtual tour of I-70 on Google maps using Street View, or use Google Earth. As has been said it's a beautiful drive and being an Interstate I don't think driving it with an RV and trailer will be any problem at all. Now, going through or around Denver is another matter. Traffic is heavy there and on I-70 up to the Georgetown area.
