You could start your ride in Flagstaff, AZ. This provides good access to the Grand Canyon;

Then use the Race across America (RAAM) route 375 miles from Cameron, AZ to Del Norte, Co. This very detailed map shows the route;

Review the RAAM from page 10 to page 18.
Then follow the Great Divide route from Del Norte, Co north:

Finding a route from Silverthorne, Co to Denver should not be difficult.
You should have no problems with snow along this route from mid May to early October during a normal year.
