Traversing into the mountains sounds like the perfect way to escape from the stress of everyday life, but when you can’t completely disconnect from the office, they're also a terrific place to find some solace in working remotely. With several charming spots to post up for some email responses or awe-inspired writing, including a state-of-the-art coworking space, Estes Park is a great place to keep up with the grind among the peace of peaks and forests. Here are some of our favorite spots to work remotely from the Rocky Mountains.
