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

Yellowstone Lake

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.

Oxbow Bend

Oxbow Bend is one of the most photographed spots in Grand Teton National Park. Mount Moran, in the Grand Teton mountain range, is set in the background and the Snake River winds into a beautiful oxbow in the foreground. Mirror reflections of Mount Moran are sometimes possible when we arrive to this spot on non-windy mornings!

Jackson Lake

Jackson Lake is in Grand Teton National Park in northwestern Wyoming. This natural lake was enlarged by the construction of the Jackson Lake Dam, which was originally built in 1911, enlarged in 1916 and rebuilt by 1989

Our guide Faith and was fantastic, and very kind. My mother was experiencing hip pain and Faith was very accommodating. Her incredible wealth of knowledge of the area was refreshing. She knew all the animals and the history of all the mountain ranges we encountered during our trip. She even explained how important the natural fires were to the ecosystem. We saw two herd of bison, two moose, a horn... raven, and a fox. We saw multiple waterfalls, and geysers, and we especially enjoyed the Teton areas. Would recommend highly for one of your first days in the Teton area to get a grasp of what you want to see and do.

This was our first trip to Yellowstone and given the sheer vastness of this park, we felt a tour was the best way to tackle it. BrushBuck picks up and drops off at your hotel in Jackson, which is a nice "concierge" touch. Seth was our guide and was truly excellent. Our small ragtag group of 5 in the van peppered him with questions all day, and I don't think there was a single one he couldn't answer. He was truly passionate about this little slice of America. We definitely learned so much more than any guidebook could offer. Lunch was at a quiet spot by a river, and there were ample stops at "5 star" bathrooms throughout the day. We saw bison-a-plenty, plus some pronghorn antelope, marmots, mule deer, and an osprey do an awesome dive bomb for a fish at the Black Sand Basin (my personal favorite stop of the trip). I'd highly recommend these guys (especially Seth!) for a really informative one-day trek through the vastness of Yellowstone.
