    Hi Vince, fantastic list, very thoughtfully compiled. Since just a portion of it has been covered yet it’s very helpful. Looking to visit Colorado this August, considering your options there. However can’t find website/platform for mid-term (30+ days) properties rentals to either rent or post. So either Airbnb/vrbo (quite expensive there) or campgrounds? Thanks for sharing!
