What To Expect
1
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!
2
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
5
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.
6
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.
7
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!
8
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 were on a road trip from California to Minnesota and wanted to stop by Yellowstone National Park. It was on our bucket list for a very long time so we wanted to make sure to see all the major spots like Old Faithful and the other geysers, the canyons, and wildlife. While looking online for tours, we found the 12-hour Brush Buck tour and booked it in advance. Our tour guide Seth was the greatest! He was so good at communicating so we knew exactly where to meet him and get picked up on the day of our tour. Not only was he really friendly and enthusiastic about the tour, but he was also really knowledgeable and knew exactly where to go to see some wildlife. We saw some moose, elk, bison, cool birds, and even a bear!!!! He was such a professional and did a wonderful job driving and guiding us throughout the park. We also had wonderful picnic by the most beautiful lake. Seth made sure we had plenty of bathroom breaks in between and even asked us if there were specific things we had wanted to see. I highly recommend Seth for your next tour of Yellowstone. Thanks to Seth for a memorable experience.

We made a quick trip to Jackson to see a band perform and were only able to be in town for about 36 hours. We knew we wanted to see as much of Yellowstone as possible during our short stay, so we picked BrushBuck Tours based on their great reviews. We were NOT disappointed. It was a wonderful experience! Our guide Haeli picked us up from the lobby of our hotel early that morning. We traveled in a comfortable passenger van with a total of 8 guests. We had a perfect day viewing all of the beautiful scenery and wildlife. Haeli knew how to get to all the best locations for the perfect photos and the best places to locate wildlife. We saw Bison, an Elk with a young calf, a Moose with a young calf, a Black Bear, Mule Deer, Yellow Bellied Marmots, and several ground squirrels and chipmunks. We were worried that all of the driving in the van would make for a long day, but we were so wrong. Haeli taught us so much about Yellowstone, from the animals, to the unique features of this amazing place, and even the history of the park! We could not have asked for a more perfect experience! Haeli even made a special trip back by our hotel after her long day to drop off a hat that we accidentally left in her van. We plan to come back again for a longer trip in the future and will definitely book a multi day tour with BrushBuck and maybe even a snowmobile tour if get really adventurous! Thank you for turning our short trip into our most memorable vacation ever!

Our guide, Seth, showed up on time, introduced himself to everyone individually including our children (age 10 & 13), and was prepared to help our party have the best tour possible. Quality binoculars, snacks, drinks — everything we could need on a day of wildlife sighting in the Grand Tetons/Yellowstone. Once we departed from Jackson, Seth was a man on a mission. Not 5 miles outside of town, we were turning off side roads to hit local wildlife spots. Seth’s ability to spot wildlife was uncanny. He’d see an animal, point it out for the group and then set up a spotting scope to make sure we all had a chance to see it. Pronghorn, moose, elk and coyote sightings were achieved within the first few hours. Along the route he offered information about the history of the area, the geology, the local legends and, of course, the animals. Seth’s passion and enthusiasm were evident and added to our overall experience. After a long day of sightseeing the natural wonders of the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone and all kinds of additional animals including bison, sand hill cranes, a pelican, osprey, blue herrons, muskrats, and a hummingbird, my son still hadn’t seen a bear. So, on our way back to Jackson, Seth offered to go over time on our tour and stop at a few more local spots. Our trip ended with the grizzly bear sighting my son and family was hoping to see. We had a great trip. The memories and pictures are ours forever. Thank you Seth for sharing your Yellowstone!
