Cut Bank is a county seat about halfway between Browning and Shelby, and about the same distance from the Canadian border. It is referred to as the "Coldest Spot in the Nation" - hence the giant penguin.

The town was named for the deep gorge near it that was made by Cut Bank Creek.

The cultural diversity and richness that makes the Cut Bank area a special place to both live and visit is highlighted by the proximity of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. The Blackfeet Tribe is arguably one of America's most culturally intact native populations. The area is also home to five active Hutterite colonies. Steeped in centuries-old Germanic tradition, a visit to any one of these colonies is a step back in time to a simpler lifestyle. The Glacier County Museum preserves and educates visitors about the area’s history and its people.

The area around Cut Bank is rich with opportunities for those seeking true western adventure. With Glacier National Park as our backdrop, it's no exaggeration when we say Cut Bank is in the center of the absolute best in outdoor recreation.
