Salt Lake City has the fastest internet speeds of any U.S. metro area and a booming tech sector known as Silicon Slopes. The mountains are 20 minutes from downtown — ski in the morning, work in the afternoon. The city is younger and more progressive than its reputation suggests, with a craft beer scene, growing food culture, and outdoor lifestyle that's hard to beat. Remote workers get fiber internet, mountain access, and a cost of living that still beats the coasts.
