Top Yellowstone National Park Art & Culture

Named after a 12,000-year-old quarry used by ancient Native Americans to collect, trade, and fashion primitive tools and weapons out of volcanic glass (aka obsidian), and the first wayside exhibit in Yellowstone, Obsidian Cliff Tours welcomes adventurers, explorers, honeymooners, and bucket-listers of all ages to experience the 22-million-acre Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem with us. Our customized road-based private tours are designed to help you see and experience the most iconic wildlife, wild places, and cultural attractions the region has to offer at a leisurely pace and in the comfort and safety of one of our air-conditioned SUVs or spacious vans. Our fun, safe, and knowledgeable guides will help you discover places where humans share an untamed landscape with bears, bison, elk, and wolves; where boiling hot springs and cascading waterfalls amaze; where dude ranches were born; and where mountain men were made. We are an authorized permittee of the National Park Service.

Creative ones,get ready to search out a story & start your own mini documentary on this unique adventure unlike any scavenger hunt you have ever been on. We will work together to find a story you want to tell. You can pick one of 3 story options that I will give you in our pre-production meeting on Whats App. They will be good candidates for an interesting first doc project, or you can pick one you like in the realm of nature and animals. We are going to skip controversial subjects, politics, religion, anything harsh, profane or sexual. Your hunt will have you printing release forms, doing research, determining who you will interview, and where you will go to get footage and B-roll shots. You can choose 2 different filmmaker styles- The Planner or the Last Minute Run and Gun Shooter. Check the photo descriptions for some subject ideas, come with your own or brainstorm with your host.
