The Runner Up Is...

While not named the winner by Outside Online, they have said that Philipsburg is still one of the best places to bring your family for an adventure.

Here's what they had to say about the town:

In winter, families head to Philipsburg’s Discovery Ski Area—known as Disco to locals—for its easy frontside groomers. In town you’ll find a community ice rink, old-fashioned candy at the Sweet Palace, and cold craft beer at Philipsburg Brewing Company. Come summer, Philipsburg (population 847) is a quaint base camp for mellow hikes in the Anaconda Pintler Wilderness, fishing for brook trout in Georgetown Lake, and downhill mountain biking at Discovery Bike Park. At nearby Gem Mountain, you can even pan for sapphires—the treasure that put this former mining town on the map. —Jacob Baynham

Honestly, that's just scratching the surface when it comes to things to do in Philipsburg, and if you want to know more, you can check out the town profile courtesy of Visit Southwest Montana.
