This popular area today has roughly 6,500 residents and is a great rocky mountain town to explore the outdoors.

There's no shortage of activities in the winter, with skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and ice fishing. A plethora of community activities too, including Gypsym Daze which is the town's signature summer festival, and Friday Night Party in the Park which features a family friendly outdoor movie and band.
