Fort Collins is actually closer to the mountains, technically, then Denver. It is a lot closer to Rocky Mountain National Park, too. It's a very nice community. Your best bet is probably suburban Denver, especially the western suburbs of Lakewood, Littleton, etc. I'm not sure what you mean by open-minded, but don't expect anything in Colorado to be like New York, Chicago, etc. It's just not that kind of place. A lot of the Denver area, despite being a big city, does feel like a small town. For most of us, though, that's a good thing that we value about living here.

Denver has its rough spots, but there are also neighborhoods here that are quite nice. Nice areas include (but not limited to):
*Cherry Creek
*Stapleton
*Washington Park
*Capitol Hill
Some rough ones:
*Park Hill
*The majority of Colfax Blvd
*almost everything west of downtown
If you're from Utah, you are probably used to suburbia. SLC, especially downtown, is tiny compared to Denver. Nice suburbs here are:
*Highlands Ranch
*Louisville
*Littleton
*Broomfield
*Parker
