If it’s your first trip to Yellowstone National Park, make sure you take time to see the magnificent, natural attraction Obsidian Cliff. Of the best sights to see in Yellowstone this amazing sight will only take a small chunk of time out of your busy sightseeing day. The natural wonder played a big role in the history of the park, however. Obsidian Cliff today just looks like a towering hill that’s mostly covered with pine trees.
