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 a day long your that was great from start to finish. We were picked up at our condo at 6AM by our expert guide, Haeli who was so kind and knowledgeable. She has a vast knowledge of the things we were seeing and made our time with her both fun and educational. My only disappointment was that we didn't see a bear, but that certainly wasn't her fault. We did see a huge bull elk, bison, and a Trumpeter Swan. We also saw Old Faithful, many beautiful waterfalls and hot springs. We a sandwich lunch was provided and we were returned to our condo around 4PM. It was a most enjoyable and fun day packed with so many beautiful sites. Thanks Haeli!

Seth Was our tour guide and he did an excellent job explaining everything we were seeing and doing! We learned a lot more on this trip then we would have if we went by ourselves. We saw bison and antelope’s. The scenery was amazing! Fun!

We had a fantastic trip with our guide Kenny. We set out bright and early and immediately saw a large bull moose. As we traveled toward Yellowstone we stopped and saw herds of bison and elk. Once at Yellowstone the park was, as expected, very crowded. Kenny had a good feel for getting us to the right place at the right time and I was pleased to have someone else doing the driving. On the way back we stopped and got excellent close-up pictures of a large bull elk by the road. Original plans were to return to Yellowstone on her own several days later, but we instead hiked in the grand Tetons, as the trip to Yellowstone showed us most of the most popular sites and we did not want to fight the crowds on our own. Highly recommend this tour operation. Very professional.

Leaving the driving to Brushbuck is highly recommended - that's a terrific point! Thank you for your comments - we'll pass them on to Kenny!
