If you make it to Wyoming, there are some low-traffic roads and paths in and around Grand Teton National Park. Off season, you can get a great room at the Jackson Hole ski village, which is north of the town of Jackson and just south of the entrance to Grand Teton National Park.
I've done the ride From Teton Village to Moose and then through the back road in Park to the Jenny Lake loop and back. Great ride. Not sure I would ride in Jackson itself though. There are a few bike paths heading out of Jackson.
