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.

We saw so much during this tour. The people on the tour made this very fun. The geysers and hot springs were my favorite. Amanda timed Old Faithful perfectly. She was very knowledgeable about the Park, and horticulture. She even spotted a moose for me!

Fantastic tour. Our day started out at 6am in Wilson Wyoming. We were picked up by our guide exactly at 6am in a very nice van with large windows that seated 9 including the driver. Very comfortable, easy to get in and out of the van. There were 5 in our group, all of which got along and interacted beautifully together. It is about a 2 -3 hour drive to Yellowstone but our guide, Andrew, was an excellent driver and very mindful of stopping/bathroom breaks. Andrew was very personable, funny, and extremely knowledgeable about the history of all the areas we travelled through as well as all the animals and birds we saw. He is an experienced guide covering many different states and some countries abroad. As we neared Yellowstone and saw eagles, ospreys, moose, and bison, Andrew would stop and we would get out and take pics and just experience the magnificence of nature. We arrived just prior to Old Faithful doing its thing, and then experienced the geothermal pools, which are fascinating, then had a picnic lunch. The weather was chilly but sun shining. It was not crowded this time of year. As we headed up to the Yellowstone Grand Canyon the weather was rolling in and while viewing the breathtaking beauty of the waterfalls in the canyon it started to snow. It was magnificent. The majesty of the canyon is indescribable. We then headed back to Wilson. Amazing tour! We learned so much from Andrew’s extensive knowledge of the Yellowstone , Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming areas, plus “other” bonus facts/stories. Andrew returned us safely to our starting point, where we all embraced and marveled over the wonderful experience we all shared together in this amazing country of privilege we live in. Thank you Andrew and BrushBuck!!!!!

We had an awesome experience today at Yellowstone National Park. Our tour guide was Andrew, and I highly recommend him. He was personable, knowledgeable and fun to hang out with. We learned a lot and saw some gorgeous sites. Waterfalls, geysers, mud holes. Lots of wildlife including Elk, Moose, Bison, Cranes & various birds. It was a 12 hour trip that included transportation and lunch. Highly recommend BrushBuck Wildlife Tours/Andrew.
