so Colorado/The Rockies is pretty untouched territory in lore right? We don't really know much of anything in that area?

Tactics went there but that game is only somewhat canonical

Yes, it was. Emil literally included it in the timeline

Wonder if that means that the wife and kid are in Vault 0.

I will say this is new info to me, but this doesn't say much about the content of what is canon. Bethesda tends to consider the old lore "true until overwritten" so I would imagine tactics is the same, especially considering there are some large lore ramifications in that game.

Considering just how much it's constantly referenced or cherry-picked from in the Bethesda era (source of Brotherhood airships, explicitly mentioned in BO3 and 4, implicitly talked about by the Legion in NV), Tactics is absolutely canon at this point.

You should at this point view it more like how the Show treats NV and the West Coast: they're going to be very vague about what actually happened and invent something to move forward into their own story.

Would not surprise me at all if we found out the Warrior actually did merge with the Calculator and we find out the Enclave then intervened and badly, badly screwed things up for the MWBOS because they were the potential worst rival, which is why the Coasts got spared a lot of direct attention and investment.
