You have to go to the parks, just get there early. Don't go during the weekend if you can help it.
Yellowstone was great, I went in early June, there was still snow in the high roads and some of the passes, but they were open.
Superslabbing sucks. If you can, take the secondary highways. When I go out West I try to take a different route each time. Last time I went through Sault Ste. Marie and went across Michigan through Marquette and took highway 2 all the way to Glacier National Park. It was almost as fast as the Interstate, but way more interesting. It was super fast through Minnesota, turned to 4 lanes for some time.
Take your time getting out there and then blast home on the slab if you have to.
Yah the wind, good point. It is the prairies, she's gonna blow. Sometimes it will be a couple of days of hell. If you are used to riding in the wind, it won't be too bad. If you are not, just be careful and try to stay loose (easier said than done).
The West is great, big open land and sky and fewer people on the road...they are still at the National Parks
, out East!

Badlands, Black Hills and Yellowstone (w/ Beartooth) are all excellent options. I would also add to those Devil's Tower (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devils_Tower, CE3K anyone?) and if you like a little history, there's Custer's Last Stand, not far from Beartooth.
But looking at the map, Cheyenne is much closer to Denver and Colorado Springs than to parts of Wyoming, and the Rockies in Colorado are fabulous. Can you visit your brother in 2013 and again in 2014 ?

Pikes peak was pretty cool. We went through the mountains from Glenwood Springs down to aspen to pikes peak and then Colorado Springs. Then you can take HWY 25 back up to Cheyenne(270km).
This is what i would do. https://maps.google.ca/maps/ms?msid=207742217644948019374.0004d8b5e13e685bb6577&msa=0
