Yosemite’s ‘Firefall’ delights visitors with dazzling, sunlit spectacle
Mother Nature is putting on a dazzling show in
The fleeting spectacle, which is known as “Firefall” and only lasts for a few minutes as the sun goes down, occurs in mid-February each year at Horsetail Fall.
TravelYosemite.com, calls the phenomenon, “one of the most wondrous and beautiful sights” at the park which is considered one of the crown jewels in the federal system.
The seasonal waterfall only flows in the winter and the spring. It glows in shades of orange and red as the sun is reflected in the mist of the water, making it appear to look like lava as it cascades down the eastern face of iconic El Capitan.
The sight thrills photographers who flock to the park to capture the breathtaking show.
Take a look.
