I was thinking Boulder because I know it's close to the Rockies and that'd be awesome IMO...even though I'm surest anywhere in CO would be good for outdoor stuff.

I'm in a nondescript suburb north of Denver (Thornton), though I associate culturally with Denver since I work downtown and tend to do most of my city activities there.
It really just depends on what activities you're into. Fort Collins is a bike riding, beer drinking haven (though both of those are common throughout the state). Boulder is a great place for easy access to hiking and rock climbing outside your door as long as you have a positive reaction to dread locks. Denver is the "big city" and still has decent access to outdoorsy stuff if you're willing to drive an hour or so. Colorado Springs has lots of cool tourist destinations nearby, but is culturally dominated by military families and is much more religious than the rest of the state.
Of course, if you start getting outside of the Front Range, there are a ton of little mountain towns that would be fun to live in, but finding jobs there can be more difficult.
