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.

A 6am pick up time and 12hrs in a van is not my idea of a good time, but it was amazing. Our tour guide was Jess. She was filled with knowledge, gratitude and optimism. Our day started out with lots of clouds and little rain but that did not dampen our spirits. While it was drizzling we found moose, pronghorn, deer, elk and bison. We had a pretty diverse group of 7, ages ranging between 6 and 88yrs old and everyone enjoyed the tour. Jess has an ability to connect with everyone. The 6yrs old in our group was so impressed with Jess’s knowledge and independence. They connected over animal facts, pelts and tracks. The older 6 people in our group were impressed with Jess’s stories of local life, National Park facts and Parks’ history. She has vast knowledge of the animals in the Parks and the expeditions that helped shape each Park. The tour’s accommodations were top notch. Our vehicle was a premium van with captain chairs for everyone. Big windows to see everything. Binoculars were high powered and clean. Our picnic was delicious with everything from a table cloth to premium meats. The Parks are awesome and a highlight of our Jackson Hole Family Adventure but Jess was just as much of a highlight without her and Brush Buck Tours our sights of Tetons and Yellowstone would have been pretty pedestrian.

There really is no better way to see our National Parks than a Brushbuck Tour. We are so proud of this beautiful place we live in and are honored to share what we know about it with our visitors. Thank you for taking the time to log such a nice review.

Best tour I have ever been on. Your stay is at the old faithful inn, You tour in a 1937 touring car (convertaible) There were only five couples on the trip. Our guide was beyond words great (Edward Christian) This was a stress free tour. Edward did all the driving. We saw all the highlights of the park, tons of wildlife and some hidden gems that most tourist do not get to experience. all inclusive Book early.

Thank you, but this sounds like a Yellowstone Park sponsored tour, rather than a Brushbuck Tour. I am sure they would appreciate your moving this lovely review over to their TripAdvisor site.
