At the present time, there are no Rocky Mountain States with coasts on any ocean. At some point in Earth's history part of this vast area was submerged as evidenced by ocean creature's fossils being discovered there. There is pessimistic speculation that, in the future, parts of the Rocky Mountain states will have ocean fronts when the San Andreas fault blows and California "falls into the sea." It could happen instantly in true polar wander or a great perturbation.
