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.

We took an all-day tour of the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone on July 30 with Faith as our guide. She picked us up in Jackson, Wyoming. On a scale of 1 to 5, we would give her a number 10. She found animals that we would have not seen on our own. One of the first group of animals we saw was a herd of bison. While we were watching two of them split from the herd, we soon saw why they were headed a certain direction. There was a wolf approaching the herd! It was fascinating to watch the wolf go toward them, then decide that wouldn’t be the right thing to do. Faith was so excited because this was her first wolf sighting. In addition to us being thrilled about seeing a wolf, we were happy for her because we learned that it isn’t often to see a wolf. The rest of the day was equally interesting. She seemed to know where to find the animals, and provided us with a lot of information about them and the vegetation along the way. Ten thumbs up for her knowledge!!!! This all-day tour was well worth the money.

Hi Joe! You folks hit the jackpot on your tour! Wolves are pretty rare to see in the southern portion of Yellowstone, however not impossible. Not only did you see wolves, but you saw them out and about, which is even rarer during the summer months due to the warmer temps. How cool!

We had a great time on our tour. I really enjoyed having our guide Jess there to give us information about what we were seeing and answer our questions. She was very knowledgeable and informative, she took us around the park and spotted animals for us to look at as well as tell us history about the park and the animals. We had a great time and felt we learned a lot and were able to see the highlights of the park. I was pleased with all of the interaction with Brushbuck tours from start to finish.

Hi Kyle! Thank you for the review! One of the best parts of exploring the parks with us is being able to have your questions answered in realtime. Cell service is very minimal in the parks and makes "Googling" impossible!
