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 loved seeing the many wild animals all around the park. There were more geysers and bubbling hot pots than we ever imagined. It was a vast and beautiful park to visit. Our guide, Kim, was terrific. She was so friendly and knowledgeable answering extensive questions all day long. She tried her best to accommodate all on our group in things we wanted to see. We saw, herds of bison and prong horn deer, a few moose, several deer, a few elk and even a bald eagle. Kim was great in giving us a day we would remember. We highly recommend a tour with her. We were picked up right at our hotel. Brushbuck was in touch with us on time and it was all very easy. We are taking another Brushbuck full day tour tomorrow into Grand Teton and can't wait. If you are trying to decide what tour company to use....you will not be disappointed with Brushbuck.

We did a 12 hour Grand Teton and Yellowstone tour today. This tour exceeded my expectations! Jeff our tour guide was outstanding! His knowledge of the park, the Yellowstone ecosystem and other factors made the trip! He was a great host ensuring we were comfortable at all times! The van was comfortable and the picnic lunch outstanding. We saw Bison, Elk, Pronghorn Deer and many others. I would highly recommend this tour.

I’m not going to lie, the thought of sitting in a van for 12 hours really didn’t appeal to me. However, my girlfriend really wanted to tour Yellowstone, and we only had a day to do so. What can I say, I couldn’t have had a better experience. This tour was absolutely amazing. It probably helped that we were paired with an amazing group of people; however, It was mostly due to our guide, Kyle, who was absolutely incredible. His enthusiasm for Yellowstone is unrivaled, and his knowledge of the park was absolutely incredible. I’ve never seen someone get so pumped up to see wildlife!! He got everyone else excited about it, too. He made the tour run incredible smoothly. I learned so much from him, and he’s just an all around genuine human. I highly recommend taking a tour with Kyle and Brush Bucks if you have the chance. You won’t regret it. Not to mention, Being from New Orleans, Kyle helped us take our mind off of hurricane ida, which was barreling towards our home. He helped turn a day that would have been full of worry and fear and turned it into something amazing and beautiful. I can’t thank him enough for taking our mind off everything Our tour started out looking for wildlife in the Tetons on the way to Yellowstone. We came across 6 moose. That was an absolute treat. We then made our way into Yellowstone. The tour focused on the southern loop. We made our way to the Yellow Stone Grand Canyon. On the way, we stopped at a few not worthy spots! Not to mention, you’re riding next to Yellowstone lake nearly the entire time. Absolutely beautiful. After the canyons, we then had lunch at a nice campground. Next, we came across a bison herd, which was an absolute treat. We also stopped at the old faithful in and got to see old faithful erupt! It was very neat. Our final stop was the Grand Prismatic, which was breathtaking. Overall, We got to stop at all the big attractions and learned tons of interesting facts from our guide. We also saw a ton of wildlife, including a number of different birds of prey species. This was overall a fantastic experience, and I wouldn’t hesitate to take another tour with brush bucks and Kyle again in the future!!! PS. The guide got some absolutely fantastic shots with his Range finder. He sent them to us after the tour. Absolutely incredible. Thanks again Kyle and Brush Bucks!!
