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 really enjoyed our tour back in August. Our guide Gannon was very knowledgeable and super nice. He made our 1st visit to Yellowstone awesome. We are in the process of planning next years trip and we’re bringing 3 of our grandchildren with us and will definitely be taking our tour with BrushBuck. We would love to have Gannon as our guide again. Look forward to coming back in july 2020. Thomas and Carol Sherman.

We were super pleased with our BrushBack tour and guide. Learned so much during the day. Our knowledgeable guide was accommodating when we spotted wildlife, kept us safely away from bison on the boardwalk around the bubbling "pots", and told delightful stories. My 8-year old granddaughter was with us, and she was given an opportunity to look through a wild life finder and a telescope. She spotted our first elk of the morning! And what I appreciated the most was that the guide took the time to answer her questions and walk with her. I would definitely use BrushBack again. AND the picnic lunch was delightful and packaged so carefully.

I can’t say enough about our amazing guide Jess, she was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and answered every question we threw at her. She did her best to find wildlife for us and with the exception of bears (believe me she tried) we saw an abundance of wildlife. We were in a small group of 7 which was perfect for a guided tour, it allowed us to make stops in locations that weren’t on the agenda. We travel all the time and don’t normally take guided tours however because we had never been to Yellowstone we decided we could see more in one day with a guide than on our own. It was an excellent call and we highly recommend BrushBuck to anyone visiting Yellowstone. If we return or visit any of their other locations we will definitely make reservations with BrushBuck again.

Hi James- wow!! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such detailed and thoughtful feedback for our company. We sure think Jess is a phenomenal guide too, and I am so glad to hear that she was able to help you make the most of every minute in Yellowstone.
