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.

This was our first trip to Yellowstone and given the sheer vastness of this park, we felt a tour was the best way to tackle it. BrushBuck picks up and drops off at your hotel in Jackson, which is a nice "concierge" touch. Seth was our guide and was truly excellent. Our small ragtag group of 5 in the van peppered him with questions all day, and I don't think there was a single one he couldn't answer. He was truly passionate about this little slice of America. We definitely learned so much more than any guidebook could offer. Lunch was at a quiet spot by a river, and there were ample stops at "5 star" bathrooms throughout the day. We saw bison-a-plenty, plus some pronghorn antelope, marmots, mule deer, and an osprey do an awesome dive bomb for a fish at the Black Sand Basin (my personal favorite stop of the trip). I'd highly recommend these guys (especially Seth!) for a really informative one-day trek through the vastness of Yellowstone.

My daughter and I have traveled extensively and Seth is by far the best guide we have had. He was knowledgable, enthusiastic, and went out of his way to ensure that we saw as much as we could and understood what we were seeing. What stands out the most is that while our small group was walking and touring, he was often approached by other tourists, and asked questions. He always responded with a gracious patience and courtesy. He conducts himself as a true professional with a passion for the area. He interspersed the tour with his extensive background knowledge of geology. He showed us that Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons are not just "a pretty face", but an intricate geological phenomena with a unique place in American history. We were thoroughly impressed with BrushBuck tours, and will be recommending to friends and family who are heading out to the Jackson Hole area.
