Default Need a place to park for roadtrip out west

I am planning a trip out west for 2 weeks in August this year. I want to see as much as possible in that time but dont want to waste an extra 2 days in traveling out and back on the bike so I am looking to trailer it to a central location such as Denver, Co. so the woman and I can take turns driving and get there in 1 day instead of 2. Can anyone recommend a safe place to park a truck and trailer for a week or two in that area or is there a member here living in that area willing to help me out? Looking to visit N.and S.Dakota,Montana,Idaho,Utah,Arizona and New Mexico.Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Check with dealerships in the area. They may have parking lots big enough to spare a few spaces for a while.

Motels will usually let you leave your truck and trailer there if you spend the night there before you leave and when you come back. I've done that twice.

I stayed at KOA in Flagstaff, Arizona. We asked the employees if it was ok if we parked our truck and trailer a few days. They had no problem. We checked in late Sunday evening and spent Monday going to Sedona and Jerome. On Tuesday, we packed up the bikes and hit the Grand Canyon, Route 66, Kingman, Hoover Dam and Vegas. We stayed in Vegas for three days and stayed on last night back in Flagstaff before heading home.

I was planning on driving to Denver,staying in a motel one night then taking the bike from there to see the sights. Returning to Denver almost 2 weeks later to get truck and head home. Didnt think a motel would let me park there that long.

I googled "short term vehicle storage" in denver co and got plenty of responses. Looks like it would cost less than $50.
