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.

We had a great time on this tour. Our guide was Bobby, and he was excellent. Not only did he do a fantastic job showing us to every sight we wanted to see, he was incredibly knowledgable about the parks and the wildlife, and answered every question we had perfectly. Throughout the course of the tour we saw coyotes, bears, a herd of bison (and baby bison), elk, birds and more. Our group of nine had a wide range of ages, but Bobby was upbeat and energetic the entire trip, making the day informative and entertaining for everyone. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour, and would urge everyone to try and request Bobby.

Seth was a wealth of knowledge about Teton National Park and Yellowstone. He told us some little known facts about the parks and kept up a lively banter with the 6 of us on this tour. We saw moose, an elk mother with her day old baby, loads of bison, deer, horses and birds. When one of us thought we saw a bear Seth backed up the van so we could get a closer look; turned out to be a “wild” log! He also doubled back to “Old Faithful” so we could see a wonderful display. He took us to see the mud pots and reminded us continually to be a safe distance away. 12 hours went by too quickly. I highly recommend Brush Buck tours and especially would ask for Tour Guide Seth!

I can't really express how great our tour was last week. Our guide extraordinaire was Bobby. He provided not only an in depth knowledge about the Parks and the Wildlife, but also was quite the entertainer during the tour. The tour lasted about 12 hours which on the surface sounds like a long time, but after it was over it seemed like a breeze. At each stop Bobby would explain what we were likely to see and experience, answer all our questions with incredible knowledge and ease. We had several stops in Grand Tetons locating elk, a bear and pronghorn. Since the bear was up on the mountain and impossible to see with binoculars, Bobby set up his telescopic lens and allowed all in the tour to see the bear and then took a picture with all of our cameras through the lens of the bear. We then proceeded to Jenny's Lake and were able to take an exceptional photo where the mountains reflected in the lake. The lake waters were like a mirror. This was our most peaceful stop and one my wife and returned to the next day. We would have never found this locations without the expertise of our guide Bobby. Next we were off to Yellowstone where we were treated to a tour of the southern loop. We witnessed Old Faithful explode at its appointed time and were treated to a special sighting of another geyer blowing off steam. Its steam erupted at a higher height than Old Faithful. We were told this geyer only erupts on a rare occasion. Then we were off to the mud pits and pools. After a brief walk around the area, we left to see the Lower Falls. On the route to that location, we encountered a herd of a hundred or more buffalo. We witnessed young bulls butting heads, young calves at play and older adults laying around resting from a period of grazing. It was truly amazing to see! Then we were off to the Lower Falls. They were magnificent to see. As we walked to a viewing location, Bobby spotted an Osprey nest and focused his telescopic lens so all could see. He also allowed a few kids not on our tour to look as well. We then journeyed to Yellowstone Lake. Along the way we stopped a location that Bobby stated was usually loaded with wildlife activity. Boy was he right. There was not a lot of activity, but what was there was spectacular We spotted a lone wolf on the prowl. We were able to follow the wolf as he/she moved along the banks of the river and then followed the wolf as it swam across the river. Bobby stated that this was a very rare sighting especially during the day. We were thrilled to witness this rare event. We then stopped at the Yellowstone Lake for a few photo opportunities, traveled along the Lake for a number of miles until we started back out of the Park. Before departing the Park we stopped at the Oxbow to see if there was any early evening wildlife activity. Unfortunately there was none, but it was a beautiful location. Along the route back to our hotels, we witnessed additional elk sightings, located Sandra Bullock's residence and several other items of interest. At days end we felt like we had seen and lot of the great sights in the Parks and had witnessed a great number of the wildlife residing in the Parks. I can't begin to express how privileged we were to have Bobby as a guide. He made what could have been a long day, seem very short. His depth of knowledge and personal approach to the tour made it very special. Thanks to Brushbuck for making Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Parks come alive on our wonderful tour with Bobby!
