If you're going for beach destinations, I would head south of the border to Mexico. I liked Tulum and Playa Del Carmen, but Cancun might be nice if it fits your style. I personally didn't think Cancun felt any different than any other beach town in the USA, but Playa and Tulum definitely had a different feel to it.
If you're looking for hiking, Colorado would be a good choice like you mentioned.
If you're looking to spend a lot of money, Vegas would be a good option.
NYC and Washington DC would be good just for the tourist things alone. You can never get bored in Washington DC with all the cool stuff that they have to do and see in the capital.
It all depends on your interests I guess. I would steer clear of anywhere in the south that isn't on the beach or anywhere in the desert like visiting the Grand Canyon, as those places will be to hot to really enjoy yourself.

For non beach destinations Chicago is at it's peak in the summer. Lots of festivals, concerts, etc every weekend.

Not sure what your looking for out of your trip but sounds like you like being active and nature and considering you were talking about hiking the rockies I'm guessing you'd be open to a nature trip over a party trip.
I'm a huge fan of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, really remote and not alot in the way of bars or restaurants, at least anything besides a roughneck townie bar but the entire UP is very similar to Alaska in the sense of unmolested nature. The place I camped last time it was like a 40 minute drive to a store and that store wasn't a Walmart it was like a plywood building that sold water, beer, gas and smokes and that was about it.
The Lake Superior shoreline is beautiful, they have pictured rocks up there along wiht a lot of nature parks. If your looking to get away it's a very cool destination.
I'm also a big fan of Charleston, SC. There's plenty of nature stuff within a short drive but you also have downtown Charleston, Mt Pleasant, James Island. If you like good food it's an awesome food destination, great seafood, great southern cooking, lots of food trucks and interesting restaurants. Charleston has a ton of history but also a good music and nightlife scene.
