becomes

The correct answer is: "are"

In order to answer this question correctly, we need to understand the verb that should be used to complete the sentence. Let's look at the options and eliminate the ones that don't make sense:

a) is - This option suggests that Colorado is currently the vacation destination, but the sentence is discussing a future vacation destination.

b) am - This option suggests that the speaker is the vacation destination, which doesn't make sense in this context.

c) are - This option suggests that the mountains themselves are the vacation destination, which makes sense. It is grammatically correct to say, "The mountains of Colorado are my next vacation destination."

Therefore, the correct answer would be option c) are.
