You Can Live Off The Grid In This Missouri Town Considered The Best In The Country

Life sometimes goes by at breakneck speed. We're always connected, too, which means our minds are usually racing at all hours of the day and the night. Sometimes, though, we need a little bit of time away from all of the modern conveniences, like email at our fingertips and smartphones in our pockets. When you need some time away from it all (off the grid or not), plan a visit to this enchanting Missouri town.

With a population of just over 200, Rocheport provides an idyllic backdrop for an off the grid getaway. It's the perfect destination for a family vacation or a solo getaway.

While you don't have to unplug during your time in this tiny Missouri town, you might want to, especially once you discover just how much there is to do.

Feel as though you've stepped back in time with a leisurely stroll through town. You'll pass quaint shops, eclectic restaurants, and historic buildings.

Experience a town favorite with a meal at the Rocheport General Store, the perfect prelude to a brisk walk on the local section of the Katy Trail.

Part of the 240-mile trail meanders through Rocheport. How about packing a picnic if you don't feel like hiking?

Rocheport offers plenty of opportunities to explore on foot or on bike.

Carve out time to go wine tasting at Les Bourgeois Vineyards and to visit Warm Springs Ranch to see the Budweiser Clydesdales.
