Head towards Eagle County Colorado.
Plenty of Campgrounds around vail that will only cost you maybe $10 a night.
Head to Piney River Ranch if you need a shower. Been a few years since I have been but their website looks a bit more fufu than when I was there.
There are some good fire roads one can take all around the area.
Plenty of mountains, trout streams, grass, beautiful views. We spent a week camping and taking the fire trials in my Z71 when it was about a month old and it did just fine.
Bunch of fire roads branch off the main road headed towards Piney River Ranch. Been a awhile since I have been to give specifics but just get there and ask around with the other folks driving 4 wheels drives they’ll hook you up.
While you won’t find the Kentucky folk of the hollers like you’re last trip there are plenty of hippy granola folk out there.
Spend a week getting dirty then head over for a night or two at the Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch and hang with the likes of Michael J Fox and Garth Brooks. I am sure I ran into other famous people too I just am not one of those Hollywood star struck folks so I would not know many famous people if I saw them.
If you want to get on back to Kentucky well come on.
Give Black Mountain a try

Aside from that there are lots of mountain and coal roads out there to explore.
Though you may be surprised at what some rednecks in sedans can do. I had to take the work Tacoma deep into coal country a bunch and it never failed that when I got to the top and it was work just me to get up. Have no fear there was always at least one late 80s early 90s Buick up there and a Thunderbird SuperCoupe.
As for no guns, that is just a world I have never been a part of on a daily basis. As we say around here if you don’t think you’ll need a gun take a pistol, if you think you’ll need a gun bring a rifle, and friends with more rifles, that or just don’t go.
I am always carrying around town. At the cabin I am loaded for bear and the shotgun is never too far off.
If you are really wanting to head cross country New Hampshire is supposed to have an old county road system that folks use for light off roading now. I am still researching that as I would like to head that way.
