It goes without saying that one of the main reasons you'll find out-of-towners visiting, and sometimes never leaving, the state of Colorado is due to its unmatched natural beauty.

Activities including hiking, rafting, fishing, and of course, camping, have drawn countless outdoors enthusiasts to the Centennial State for many years.

However, not just everyone enjoys camping as much as these outdoorsy types which became the catalyst for a new, more modern type of "roughing it" affectionately known as glamping.

While there are many places across the state that offer glamping, these places are typically off the beaten path, some to such an extent that they're considered hidden gems.

Arapaho Valley Ranch: A Colorado Hidden Gem for Glamping

High in the mountains north of I-70 are quite a few Colorado towns that are, for lack of a better term, unremarkable, and with the exception of the now-famous (or infamous) story of Marvin Heemeyer's Killdozer, Granby, Colorado falls into this category.

However, just outside of the small mountain town at 8992 Colorado Road 6 sits a place ideal for those who wish to go camping but still appreciate luxuries such as running water and electricity known as Arapahoe Valley Ranch.

Arapahoe Valley Ranch not only offers glampsites with private decks as lodging, but visitors may also choose to rent a tipi, or a cabin to suit their glamping needs.

The destination has access to beautiful hiking trails, water activities via Little Indian Lake, and has even been known to host events such as weddings and live music.

Check out Arapahoe Valley Ranch's official website for more information.
