you might get more answers giving day/night temps

I only see one thing that might be an issue, humidity. Flytraps don't need as much as some of the other carnivorous plants, but they like it to be over 50% at least.
Having lived in the Rockies myself, I know that the higher up, the thinner the air, and lower the humidity. This can be somewhat overcome by having the pot in a tray of water to make the humidity higher right at the plant, but I don't know if it could be elevated enough for long term plant happiness.
The other things, sunlight, low mineral water, zero nutrient media, bugs, etc. can all be found everywhere.
Being that high up, Winter will last a little longer, so you'll have to find a home for the plant for a longer dormancy, perhaps a chilly part of your basement. Leaving it outside in Winter at 10,000 feet will certainly kill it.

I don't really know how high elevation itself affects plants, so maybe someone else can weigh in better...but I'd guess it's a combination of colder temperatures, drier air, and more intense sun. So if you have plants outdoors you'd want to keep an eye on them in the summer to make sure they don't dry out, and look into fridge dormancy if you have something that needs dormancy but can't handle the outdoor temps in winter.

I think an indoor plant should probably be fine? Seems like if there's enough oxygen for a human, there's probably enough carbon dioxide for a plant...right?
