The state of Colorado — considered the tallest state in the nation — houses over 15 different peak ranges, according to Peak Visor. With 58 mountain peaks that tower over 14,000 feet in height, Colorado mountains are an adventure and nature lover's paradise. The alps over 14,000 feet are referred to as fourteeners, the tallest of which is Mount Elbert.

Regardless of if you're an adventurous traveler or just looking to get away from the bustle of city life, where you stay while in Colorado will add to your experience. Airbnbs are a popular choice of accommodation mainly because of the unique and varied lodging you can find on the platform, as Forbes notes, whether your destination is Nashville or the Colorado mountains. Why not make things interesting by booking one of these out-of-the-ordinary stays?
