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.

My 14 year old son and i did the Grand Teton and Yellowstone tour, and it was fantastic. Haeli, our guide was amazing. She pulled over at all the possible wildlife sitings - and we saw them all - a grizzly bear, a black bear with cubs, an elk, lots of bison, pronghorns, mule deer and more. She shared so much interesting information with us on this 12 hour tour - her knowledge was endless. She also managed to time things so that we didn't end up having to stand in long lines. Plus she was a great driver. I was so glad I didn't rent a car and try to do this myself. The tourists in cars got too close to dangerous animals, whereas Haeli's experience helped us stay safe but still see animals. We also saw all the important Geysers as well as the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. Brushbuck provided us with snacks, an excellent lunch and binoculars for everyone. Plus there were only 8 of us on the tour. Could not recommend this more highly! It's worth every penny!

We were a large group of twelve. Three families with teenagers and barely any complaining. Our guide, Daniel, was patient and very knowledgable. We had a lucky trip seeing a grizzly, bison, black bear with two cubs and a moose with twins! Amazing experience. Highly recommend this company if you are experiencing Yellowstone for the very first time.
