Browning Montana

Browning, Montana is situated at the headquarters of the Blackfoot Reservation, adjoining Glacier National Park.

Browning was formed in 1919, and is located at an elevation of 4,655 feet in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains of Northwestern Montana. Browning is 13 miles east of the stunning Rocky Mountains (called the "backbone of the world" by the Blackfeet). The town is just minutes from Glacier National Park, which is shared with Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada.

The biggest settlement on the 1.5-million acre Blackfeet Reservation, Browning is the town at its headquarters. The Reservation encompasses most of Glacier County and is home to 7,500 members of the Blackfeet Nation. The Blackfeet are the largest tribe in Montana.

Within the town of Browning you'll find several tribal offices and businesses. Get there via two major highways - U.S. 2 and U.S. 89. Most of the land is used for ranching and farming; the main crops are wheat, barley, and hay. Browning is the last place in the country where the Blackfeet still make their mark on the land.

Browning is located near other communities, such as Heart Butte, Babb, Blackfoot, East Glacier Park, Kiowa, Starr School, and St. Mary. This whole area offers a wide range of activities for those who love the great outdoors. Go hunting, fishing, golfing, camping, and hiking in the summer. Go snowmobiling, ice fishing, and cross-country skiing in the winter. With eight major lakes and 175 miles of fishing streams at your feet, you won't run out of things to do.

The Blackfeet Heritage Center and the Museum of the Plains Indian are two destinations you should not miss when in the area. Or catch a rodeo, and enjoy one of the two annual Native American celebrations that take place in the summer and fall.

Also discover a number of campgrounds, motels, hotels and restaurants available, as well as endless recreational activities that can be enjoyed both within the Blackfeet Reservation and in Glacier National Park.
