Yosemite's Firefall Details
Once a year, you can head to Yosemite National Park to see one of the most jaw-dropping natural wonders in the world. On the cliff of El Capitan sits Horsetail Fall, a small waterfall that may not look like much during the day. But when the sun sets, it glows a vibrant shade of orange that looks as if it is spewing out fire. This generally occurs from mid-to-late February, although it only happens on clear evenings when the fall has a consistent water flow.
