Yosemite National Park natural Firefall is fast approaching. Around the second week of February, light from the setting sun shines on Horsetail Falls at just the right angle to illuminate the upper reaches of the waterfall. When conditions are perfect, Horsetail Fall glows orange and red at sunset!! Credit: Beth Pratt http://www.bethpratt.com | FOX 13's Paul Dellegatto

This is what Yosemite’s “Firefall” looked like on February 21, 2026. After last week’s snowstorm, conditions aligned and Horsetail Fall lit up like molten lava flowing down El Capitan.
