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.

Absolutely LOVED this tour. It was just our family with our guide, Steve, who was so knowledgeable and such a pleasure. He taught us so much about yellowstone; stopped when we wanted to; showed us so much more than we would have done on our own! Wouldn't do yellowstone any other way!!

We booked the private tour for our family of four. We knew that a Grand Teton + Yellowstone full day would be a lot on our small kids (8 and 4) and wanted to have the possibility to cut short if necessary. They picked us up at the hotel sharp at 6:15. Our guide was a park and biology graduate so that was a treat. She was VERY patient with the kids and sweet. The car was brand new (a black super spacious suburban) and comfy. The lunch and snacks great. But the real good part was the knowledge of the proper wildlife observation points and the binoculars (we didnt even think about that) they added to the trip. There is no way we would have had near the same experience without a tour. If you have limited time - like us, or small kids, the tour (and if you can afford, because it is pricey, but 100% worth it) a private tour is the best way to go. Highlights include: black bear from 10 feet away, hundreds of bison, black horn, elk. We highly recommend this tour.

Thank you! We recommend a private tour as well to a family with small children. Our guides are happy to tailor the experience to the ages of the children involved. Thank you for taking the time to review Brushbuck Wildlife Tours.

I booked a private tour of Yellowstone Park for my family. Brushbuck tours arrived exactly on time. The tour started at 6:00am and our guide Susan came with morning snacks for us. The Suburban we were traveling in was in great condition and exceptionally clean. Susan knew everything! As we drove to get to the park she informed us about everything we saw and then some! Our day could not have been better. We saw moose, elk, bison, eagles, osprey, hawks. It was Karma, cause wildlife just kept coming. Bathroom needs, food, photo opportunities were a breeze. Susan was so attentive to everything. The experience was worth the price and our memories are priceless. Thank you Brushbuck and Susan, our family will always remember you.
