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.

Kyle and Steve gave us a great tour of Grand Teton and Yellowstone! We saw lots of animals, including several bears! They knew where to look to find the hard to find animals and were very knowledgeable about the animals and the geothermal conditions in the park. Steve even wrote suggestions about particular spots like Hayden Valley and Fishing Bridge (animal viewing), and scenic drives for us to visit on our own the following day. Great tour - highly recommend!

What an outstanding day! You always worry when you book a 12-hour tour with whom you're going to have to spend a whole day. Luckily, we had Kelsey -- an upbeat biology major -- as our tour guide. Our tour started in the Grand Teton Park and then moved into the Lower Loop of Yellowstone. Kelsey always made sure that we were enjoying the pace as well as choices of sites to see/wildlife to look for. (There is a lot of flexiblity on these private tours.) Her extensive knowledge of the history of the area as well as a good deal of science was such a nice compliment to all of the places we visited. You can't see all of Yellowstone (or even the lower loop) in just one outing but I can't imagine a better way to see as much as possible with such a pleasant guide. The picnic lunch was fun and the camraderie among the BrushBuck guides is evident as they would give each other current park/animal sighting info at our stops. And we're so glad we chose the tour instead of driving in ourselves: everything from not having a driver miss some of the sights to which entry lane into Yellowstone was the fastest helped to make our day one we'll never forget.

Mike was a outstanding tour guide! In a 12 hour tour, we hit all of the best areas of the two parks and saw bears, elk, deer, moose and antelope along with breath-taking sights. Highly recommended!
