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 did this for our 10 year anniversary while on vacation. It was time well spent! Faith was our guide and did a great job. She was very knowledgeable, fun, and detailed the entire excursion. She knew so much about the wildlife, plants, and cool places to turn off and see. We saw grizzly bear, moose, elk, pronghorn, bison, and many birds all before noon! We tried for a bigfoot sighting too but no luck, haha. Go do this and ask for Faith. You will be very happy with your day and experience.

We knew that we could expect to see some great sites but we were very impressed by our guide’s (Kyle) knowledge of the park and geography. Out of the gate he took us to a spot he knew would likely hold moose and we saw a massive bull and a juvenile bull. Great start! From there the day just got better, with all of the park sites and wildlife sightings, this tour did not disappoint. At each stop, Kyle would guide us on little things, ie. knowing which side of Old Faithful to sit on for the best viewing experience, or providing some science/history behind the landmark we were at etc. These little pointers took what would be a good experience and made it excellent! As a note, the people that were supposed to be in the van with us cancelled the morning of which effectively made our tour private. Our experience was undoubtedly enhanced by this but I still believe it would have been awesome had the van been full. We would definitely use Brush Buck (and hopefully Kyle) again for a a future tour!

What a wonderful review! It is the little things that help all our guides be the best. Kyle is a wonderful part of the team. Please come back and join us on another tour in the Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Park, Nebraska for the Sandhill Crane migration, or our multi day wildlife tours in Alaska, or Africa.

We had an amazing experience on this tour and all the credit goes to our tour guide Gannon. He was friendly, informative and could spot bears with his eyes closed😀. Definitely a tour we will always remember
