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.

Our tour was one that we found through TripAdvisor which ended up being through the travelagency gate1travel.com. It was the greatest thing we found. Just did our second one in June which started out in Mount Rushmore, spent a couple of days doing Yellowstone Park and covered most of it, plus stops in Cody and Jackson Hole Wyoming, before ending in Salt Lake City. It was an eight day tour. Love the motorcoach tour allowing Gate1Travel to make all of the arrangements and schedule all stops and allow us to enjoy it all without doing any driving.

We just returned from our family vacation to Wyoming/Idaho. My husband and I drove from Texas with our three youngest sons and my brother to enjoy the National Parks this summer and partake in some of the activities in the area. We booked our stay at Teton Springs in Victor, Idaho and they sent us a list of activities which included several outfitters that offered tours. Because we were only in the area for a week I wanted to get the most experience out of our time and thought the private wildlife tour with Brush Buck would be the best bet and I was not wrong. We booked the 12 hr tour early in our planning process and we could not be more pleased. We were concerned durning the June flooding and called to check in to make sure everything would be ok and we were assured that they were staying up to date on procedure and they would let us know if anything would change. Our particular tour never needed to change. Our guide was Jeff and he did an outstanding job. He was knowledgeable, energetic and engaging with us and our boys. He kept our safety and comfort a priority as well as our desires for what we wanted to see for the day. I would say our day was a 10/10 for wildlife and sights. We saw Moose, Eagle, Black Bear, Bison, Prong Horn and Elk as well as all the geological sights along the way including a perfect start with Old Faithful going off within 15 minutes of our arrival. We will remember our conversations, knowledge trivia and laughs for years to come. We could not have asked for a better guide than Jeff. Our tour included a wonderful lunch beside a waterfront rest area as well as plentiful snacks and drinks. There were binoculars for each person to use and our guide had a great scope to get and even better view for us. The whole experience from beginning to end was professional and pleasant. We would recommended Brush Buck and Jeff to anyone wanting to tour Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and they provide a fantastic service that is well worth it and we look forward to using their services again whenever we are back.
