What To Expect

Old Faithful

The most famous geyser in the world, Old Faithful geyser was named for its frequent and somewhat predictable eruptions, which number more than a million since Yellowstone became the world’s first national park in 1872. Guests will be able to watch Old Faithful erupt from the nearby wooden boardwalk and check major bucket list item off their list!

Old Faithful Inn

Old Faithful Inn was Built in 1903-1904 with local logs and stone from what is now the Yellowstone National Park area. The Inn is considered the largest log structure in the world. The towering lobby features a massive stone fireplace and a hand-crafted clock made of copper, wood and wrought iron serving as focal points.

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Great Loop Road at Canyon Village,

Yellowstone Lake

Yellowstone Lake, Grand Loop Road Between Fishing Bridge and Grant Village

Lower Yellowstone River Falls

Lower Falls, the biggest waterfall in Yellowstone at 308-feet tall, is the most famous waterfall in the park. The canyon’s colors were created by hot water acting on volcanic rock. It was not these colors, but the river’s yellow banks at its distant confluence with the Missouri River, that occasioned the Minnetaree Indian name which French trappers translated as roche jaune, yellow stone. The canyon has been rapidly downcut more than once, perhaps by great glacial outburst floods.

Fountain Paint Pot

The Fountain Paint Pots is an amazing stop in Yellowstone National Park's Lower Loop. They are mud pots located in Lower Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park. The Fountain Paint Pots are named for the rich reds, and vivid yellows and browns of the mud in this area. The differing colors are derived from oxidation states of the iron in the mud.

Hayden Valley

Hayden Valley is a must stop wildlife paradise and the location of the largest herd of free roaming bison in the world. We'll be watching for bears, wolves, bison, elk, mule deer, coyotes, fox, eagles, pronghorn and other critters while driving through this beautiful area!

West Thumb Geyser Basin

We'll walk along the boardwalk and discover the many beautiful hydrothermal pools located in this basin area that is an extension of the Yellowstone Lake area.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our Yellowstone tour. While no one day tour can fully do justice to Yellowstone, the tour did deliver the opportunity to see/experience a wide array of wildlife and the natural beauty of the rivers, canyons, waterfalls and geysers. While we covered a lot of ground, the tour was well paced and did not feel overly rushed. We also squeezed in some time in Grant Teton on the the way up and saw the peaks in the early morning light. We appreciated the communication from the team in advance of the tour and the logistics went off without a hitch. The tour bus was clean and comfortable and the refreshments and lunch that were provided were all we needed. Most importantly, the key to any successful tour is a terrific guide, and Kyle was exceptional. He was very personable and his passion for the parks and animals is infectious . HIs background in animal biology and conservation and varied professional experiences made him an incredible resource on the trip and a fascinating person to chat with. As a wildlife photographer he has a keen sense of animal behavior which proved invaluable in spotting wildlife and helping me get the most out of my own photography. I look forward to future tours with Brush Buck and highly recommend Kyle as a guide.

We fully enjoyed a private full day tour with a picnic lunch with Andrew, our personal guide. We enjoyed plentiful wildlife and excellent facts, trivia, historical information, and fun conversation throughout the 10 hour excursion. Our day began with Andrew meeting us at the front desk at our hotel at 6:30 am with a great attitude and plenty of water to make sure we stayed hydrated. We headed out on our journey and he took us right to moose having breakfast. We witnessed bears in the trees, elk, deer, swans, and much more. We were able to see Old Faithful, waterfalls, the Yellowstone Grand Canyon, and many more geo thermal attractions. Andrew made sure we were able to access the restroom when we needed, provided excellent photo opportunities and took our pictures to make sure we avoided selfie accidents. We enjoyed a scenic picnic lunch with excellent sandwiches, chips, and beverages completed with a checkered tablecloth. He also gave us pointers for our remaining time on our trip and ideas for places to dine. This was money well spent.
