Is the magnetic declination in the Rocky Mountains east or west of true north?

It depends on where in the Rockies you are. New Mexico? Colorado? Wyoming? Montana and Idaho? There will also be the standard deviations from the norm based on altitude, solar activity, weather, local anomalies, etc. The deviation will range from about 9o in northern New Mexico (which is the southern end of the range) to about 15o in northern Montana and the Idaho panhandle. Use the link to the NOAA web page where you can get a magnetic declination for any geographic location within the U.S. along with some correction factors. It is even searchable by zip code to make it really easy to approximate things quickly.

What is a magnet declination?
Magnet declination is the angle between magnetic north and true north. Declination is considered positive east of truth north and negative when west.
What is the term used for difference between true north and magnetic north?
Magnetic declination or variation.
What is the name of the difference of true north and magnetic north?

What is the magnetic declination in Jasper al?
The magnetic declination in Jasper, Alberta, Canada is approximately 18 degrees east. This means that magnetic north is 18 degrees east of true north in this location.
What is the angular difference between true North and magnetic North is called?
That's the "magnetic declination". Since the true north pole and the magnetic north pole are located at different points on the earth, the declination is a different angle in different places on earth.

How is magnetic declination measured in the northern hemisphere?
It is measured exactly the same in the Southern hemisphere (no difference between the two hemispheres). It is the difference between magnetic north and true north and it varies all over the globe. Magnetic declination (also called magnetic variation) is positive when magnetic north is east of true north (clockwise) and it is negative when magnetic north is west of true north (anti-clockwise).
