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.

I can't say enough good things about this tour, our guide, and Brushbuck as a company. Our guide, Truman, picked us up at our hotel in Jackson Hole on time. Lunch, snacks, and water were all included in the cost of the tour. As we made our way in the pre-dawn mist and rain, he told us about the trip, what he would endeavor to do for us in the way of wildlife sightings, what to expect, and especially, the rules regarding wildlife. This company places safety above all. As we made our way through Grand Teton National Park, en route to Yellowstone, Truman took us to several spots, off the beaten path in the hope of seeing wildlife. Understand, there are no guarantees of seeing anything, but the Brushbuck guides know these parks inside and out. They know and understand wildlife--how they move, where they feed and what they feed on, etc. We saw a spike horn elk, a grizzly bear, two moose, a great grey owl, several mule deer, a flock of redheads (ducks), and some pronghorn antelope. It was amazing. Keep in mind, it was raining all day. As we entered Yellowstone, and higher elevations, we caught up with the snow that had been falling up there all day. We drove along the Lewis River Canyon and made it as far as the West Thumb Geyser Basin, when thoughts turned to the possible need to turn back. Truman was in contact with other guides who reported cars off the road several miles north, and even a stranded tow truck. Brushbuck made the decision to bring all their tours back to Jackson Hole--leaving roughly half the tour unfinished. Once we dropped down to lower elevations, Truman took us to a couple other spots to show us beautiful vistas and point out places we might try on our own, then returned us to our hotel. Very shortly we received a text from Brushbuck offering us several options for other tours, none of which we could take advantage of, due to our schedule. They then told us we'd be receiving a full refund for the tour we had booked. I didn't think that was fair to Brushbuck because we had thoroughly enjoyed the half day we'd spent with Truman, so we offered to take only a partial refund, but they insisted we be refunded in full. We were stunned at that degree of customer service. Their devotion to safety, to the extensive training for their guides, and then to refund the fee. We would definitely book with them again, and we highly recommend them.

Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know what a great experience you had, even though we were not able to get you into Yellowstone this visit. We do apologize that the weather did not cooperate during your visit and we hope to see you on a tour in the future (with high hopes for better weather conditions!) We will be sure to pass on your kind words to Truman as well. Have a wonderful upcoming holiday season! Sincerely, Amber Peters

My mother and I took this day-long tour yesterday as it’s our first time in Wyoming (we’re from California and knew nothing about the area) and out first time to Yellowstone. We’ve both been talking all day about everything we learned about and saw yesterday. I read reviews before booking this tour because 300 bones is no joke, but let me tell you as all the reviews told me before taking the plunge: It’s totally worth it. We were blessed and had Ryan as our expert guide and he was totally legit amazing. I don’t know how he maintained the level of energy required to entertain and educate us for 12 hours but he succeeded. He was informative about Yellowstone’s history and all the ins and outs of the wildlife and many other factoids that my mom and I have shared with everyone on social media (because we expect everyone else will care how much Yellowstone magma would fit in the Grand Canyon and what an elk sounds like when he wants to mate!). He was also relentless in finding wildlife and I’m willing to bet we were the only tour out that day that saw a bear because he was so passionate about it and so GOOD at it! He also shared all of the photos and videos he took with his fancy scope which makes the trip even more special because if you were unable to catch a photo of something you saw that was awesome you can be sure he caught it better and now it’s yours to claim as your own. Ryan was also very funny and personable, and he is a great asset to this company. I’m sure other guides here are great, too, but I honestly can’t imagine any of them being better. Great experience, don’t hesitate!

My sister and I did a Yellowstone tour with Brush Buck Wildlife Tours and had Kyle Moon as our guide. We had an amazing experience because of him. Kyle was so awesome and he taught us so much about the wildlife we saw, trees, geothermal pools, Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons and so much more. He is very knowledgeable and very passionate about his job. He was super nice and accommodating . This guy is going places. I would definitely use this company again and I owe that to Kyle. If all the tour guides are like him, I will definitely book another tour again whether it be in Wyoming or another place this company does tours and I will recommend this business to my friends. This business is veteran owned which is always something that I will always support. Jackie Manning and Jan Tinney.
