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.

This was our first adventure to Wyoming and there is no better way to see Yellowstone than by a guided tour by Brushbuck Wildlife Tours, Inc. They are small group tour with great service. We had the most amazing tour guide named Grant who was so informative about the history of the park, how the landforms were developed and about each species we encountered. During the tour we saw such breath taking areas that my family and I will treasure for a lifetime. Just an extra bonus at the end of the tour our guide sent us the amazing photos he captured of the animals we spotted during our tour. Will definitely will take another tour with this company and request Grant as our guide the next time we get back to Wyoming!

AWESOME! Our tour guide, Kyle was the reason; his leadership skills brought the 4 participating couples together to augment & enjoy the day. We were best of friends when the tour was over. Kyle was knowledgeable regarding wildlife, geology, history and provided many interesting anecdotes that made the tour more enjoyable! He took great photos of each couple with our cameras + group pics of all; he was an expert with the spotting scope and provided us with his photos taken through the scope. The drinks, snacks & lunch + comfort and cleanliness of the van exceeded my expectations - but Kyle made our tour a 5 star exceptional experience!

Best day of our trip! Our guide was Kim Palmer and we knew 5 minutes after meeting her - it was going to be an exceptional day. Kim is incredibly knowledgeable and made every step of the way interesting (seriously, her knowledge was amazing). The company (BrushBuck Wildlife Tours) was also great to work with. They were easy to contact and communicated extremely well. Excellent overall experience. If you’re thinking about hiring a guide for Grand Tetons or Yellowstone - do it! And ask for “Kim Palmer” as your guide.
