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.

Terrific tour. Our guide Haley was excellent, with knowledge of Yellowstone nature and history. She made extra effort to make sure we saw everything and were comfortable.

First of all, I want to state that our family have been taking tours in the US and in Europe for over 10 years and our Tour Guide Haeli was the BEST Tour Guide we have ever had. She was punctual and extremely accommodating to all of us on the tour. We started in The Grand Tetons and she received insider information that bears were spotted near us. We ventured towards where she was told the bears were located and didn’t see any bears. We traveled a few miles and she received another hot tip that the bears had moved. We went to that location and what a sight we beheld. We saw a Mama Bear and her two cubs and another Grizzly Bear. We then traveled to Yellowstone and saw Old Faithful, geysers, waterfalls, canyons and more wildlife. Haeli was very knowledgeable about the wildlife, the history and all aspects of the area. If you are considering taking this tour, don’t hesitate, book it now. It is well worth the investment. Thanks Haeli and Brushback Tours for being the highlight of our trip.

People weren’t kidding when they said the 12 hours goes by quickly. Early start (bring something for breakfast or plan to get by on provided snacks or convenience store food on way till lunch) and I’m wiped out now at the end of the day, but thoroughly enjoyed the day with Bobby as did my kids. He entertained us all with trivia, interesting information and insight, and corny, punny jokes. He was very knowledgeable, thoughtful and good humored. Everything from awesome geysers and hot springs to waterfalls to beautiful panoramic vistas, mountains and lakes. And huckleberry and moose tracks ice cream. :) As for wildlife, we saw plenty elk some of them with calves up quite close, bison with calves up close as they crossed and walked alongside our vehicle, mule deer, one of two swan pairs in the park, ducks, and just before we left the park, a huge grizzly off in the distance. Didn’t manage to catch any wolves which would’ve been a long shot or black bears but we left pretty happy with what we did get to see. Bobby doesn’t suck, and he showed us plenty of “chickens” when other game was playing hard to get. Highly recommend.
