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.

Kelsey was our tour guide for the Yellowstone Tour. We were so lucky to have her expertise. She has a science and biology background, so could answer even our most obscure inquiries about the animals and geology of Yellowstone. She was extremely watchful over her group....everything sanitized and mask wearing. We all had a favorite animal that we wanted to see, and all wishes were met. We were picked up exactly on time and returned on time. She had a very nice lunch ready for us and plenty of drinks and snacks. She always checked with us if we wanted to stop and use restrooms. It was a terrific day and so much fun. I would highly recommend!

Brushbuck is top of the line for guides within the park. If I could give this company 10 stars I would. Take the private tour! It is so worth it. We had Neil as our guide. A very educated guide on all that the park has to offer. I left really having a strong understanding about the history of what was and the knowledge of what is happening with the wildlife and ecosystem now! We saw Old Faithful, the falls, animals and thermals. Ashlee at their front office was super helpful during my planning stages. Her implementation and communication made this set up flawless. They were on time and very professional. As I looked around at other companies at the sites we stopped at and compared guides, I knew I selected the very best one. Whew! I cannot imagine investing the time in coming to Yellowstone and trying this tour using an app. Get the guide so you know what and when and where! You get to look at your surroundings and not worry about the roadways. They network with each other which merely optimizes your chances to see wildlife. They know it all and because of this, you get a top notch experience. Have fun!

This tour was perfection! Kelsey was our guide and she was incredibly knowledgeable about the park, nature, geology...pretty much a walking/talking google. We say about 7 different types of wildlife and each part of the day was perfectly laid out. Lunch was delicious too! I will recommend this tour and Brush Back Tours to everyone I know. If we do tours in other places and they have a tour available- we will definitely use this company. Amazing!!
