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 told our guide, Jeff M., that I had always wanted to see a moose. He listened as we picked up the other 8 guests. My husband assured me that I added undue stress… I was a leery about having 11 people since this was our first time to Yellowstone. We started out and he pulled over very quickly because of a possible moose sighting. To our amazement, there were 3 bull moose eating red willow. I cried. The entire day was like that. Jeff is a true scholar. His knowledge of the area was unbelievable! The geology and earth were awesome. Our safety was always a priority for him. We saw pronghorn, squirrels, birds, a stunning bull elk, and was even blessed with a bison traffic jam! We saw every color in the earth and in a double rainbow. And yes, he let me and helped me take photos of every special moment. He laughed and sang with our group. The hours went way to fast. Our group bonded and I didn’t want the day to end. It was truly one of the best days of our lives.

Wow! This tour was so fun and exciting! Our guide, Jeff, knew just where to take us to beat the crowds and see the big animals we all wanted to see. We saw moose, elk, pronghorn, and bison up close where we could take some great pictures. Jeff was extremely knowledgeable and I learned so much about the history, geology, animals, plants, flowers and trees of the area. He was fascinating to listen to and just a fun, enthusiastic person to be with. The tour van was comfortable and clean. We were given snacks, drinks, restroom breaks and again, Jeff knew where the better restrooms were, a plus I thought! A delicious lunch was included, in a lovely wooded location. I can’t rate this tour company and this guide high enough!

Just Wow! This tour and company are the real deal. The lower loop Day Tour was beyond our expectations. Our Guide was Amanda and we could not be more thankful. She was spectacular---and as amazing as the tour. Brush Buck knows what they are doing and their guides keep in touch to quickly identify key sightings with other groups that are touring. We literally went on a bear hunt and were rewarded with a Grizzly sighting. Amanda kept on schedule and knew where to drive, park, and even stand for the best views and smallest crowds--including knowing where every restroom facility (and type) was! She navigated us to the most beautiful picnic lunch by a river and we all learned so very much from her (including our 2 teenagers who were overheard saying how beautiful and interesting everything was). Her knowledge is incredible about the Park, animals, foliage, history, everything! We had a private tour of 6 and the mini-bus. Amanda was able to work around our requests AND manage to get us sightings all day long while taking in the most breathtaking scenery. We could not have been more awestruck or enjoyed ourselves more.
