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.

Blair was very helpful and courteous to all her customers. She would take a telescope and take her carmer and take pictures of the animals. I would recommend her to any one. Thank you, Kristy Capps

Brushbuck Wildlife Tours seems to be a very professionally run business with top guides. Right from the time we made our reservation (months in advance) they were checking in with us to confirm and check lunch preferences. Our tour guide Seth was on his 4th day of working with Brushbuck and you would have thought he had been doing this job forever. He arrived at our pickup point a few minutes early and made you feel very comfortable right from the start. He was informative in so many areas beyond just wildlife and really helped acquaint you with so many park highlights. He was open to what the group wanted to see, BUT, certainly knew the best highlights to focus on. Was sensitive about rest-stop timing, snack and lunch time and when we saw we were going overtime, made sure the group was all good with that - so great ongoing communications. We never had the sense that we were on some fixed timetable, and took advantage of circumstances to help dictate the day's schedule. One example was we came across a bear that took down a baby elk (the capture happened just out of sight). Group just hunkered down for some time there to see nature take its course, and rather than picnic at a preplanned location, we ate right there. There were plenty of animal sightings throughout the day, but we also got a great sampling of the park's thermal features and waterfalls too. Food and snacks BTW were good and ample. This was a great way for us to get our bearings in the parks and to sharpen our scanning skills for animal sightings. Great work Brushbuck and Seth!
