From Carlsbad, you may be making your way East through southern Nevada, into Arizona, then into southern Utah. You have Zion and Bryce, Capitol Reef, and Escalante on the way back to Colorado. Anywhere along the way you can head North toward I-80. We highly recommend driving through Flaming Gorge by way of Vernal, UT up into Wyoming. Stunning!!! You could also get there by driving North and a bit West from Telluride, CO through the La Sal Mountains -- a lovely drive through a great deal of uninhabited beauty. Both of these ideas will get you back on the road to Houston fairly easily, and can be done in four days.
Whatever you do, HAVE FUN!!!
