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.

Outstanding tour! Highly recommend. Our guide, Clint, was super friendly and very knowledgeable. Brush Buck Tours limited the number of people in the van so that each couple had our own row. We felt like we had plenty of space the whole time, and everyone wore masks at all times while in the van. All the Brush Buck guides kept each other in the loop by posting wildlife sightings in a text string. We saw way more wildlife on this tour than we did driving through the parks on the following days by ourselves. We saw a herd of Elk, a Moose, a Grizzly sow with 4 cubs and a whole bunch of Bison. Clint did a great job of helping us get the best views of the animals while also ensuring we maintained a safe distance. All the guides we saw were carrying spotting scopes. These really helped with getting good views of animals in the distance, and actually made for good photos taken with an iPhone through the scope (see the Elk pic below). This tour is a good deal, and money well spent. We will definitely take a tour with them again next time we visit.

Thank you for reviewing your trip with Clint and congratulations on seeing Grizzly #399 and her 4 cubs. She has definitely been the highlight of the season this year because it is incredibly rare for a wild grizzly to have so many cubs and to keep them all so healthy! We would love to have you join again on tour - maybe Alaska or Africa next time?

We loved seeing all the sights on the tour without the hassle of finding our way around and finding parking and restrooms. We also learned so much about the area that we would never have found out about were it not for our great tour guide, Kyle. Kyle was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. He was constantly on the lookout for wildlife which we would never have spotted on our own, and he knew exactly how to best get us to the sites that we wanted to see and ones we didn’t even know about. He was personable and funny, yet very professional. We would highly recommend him as your tour guide. You will have a great day and won’t be disappointed!

We were lucky enough to have both a 6-hour private tour and a 12-hour private tour on successive days with Cade and Gannon. They were fantastic. Cade and Gannon were super knowledgeable and very patient. Both took the time to answer questions, give us tips and tricks, and point out great wildlife. They also set up a cute picnic for lunch overlooking the water. We were a group of 10 (with a one-year-old) so we appreciated the time and care they gave us. They made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip and were having a good time. We could not have hoped for a better experience and would recommend this company, in particular, Cade and Gannon to anyone looking to visit Yellowstone!
