This isn’t lava, it’s Horsetail Fall during Yosemite’s Firefall phenomenon, and up close it looks unreal. For a few evenings each February, the setting sun hits this narrow waterfall at just the right angle, turning it into what looks like molten fire pouring down El Capitan. Miss the timing by minutes, or come on the wrong day, and it disappears completely. This is why Firefall draws thousands of people to Yosemite every winter…not because it’s guaranteed, but because it isn’t. You need the rig

The Yosemite Firefall is a natural phenomenon that happens at Horsetail Fall in Yosemite National Park, California. Each year, around mid-to-late February, the setting sun hits the waterfall at the perfect angle, making it glow bright orange and red, like flowing lava. This effect lasts only for a few minutes at sunset on clear days. | Nature View

Yosemite's 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. And when conditions are perfect, Horsetail Fall glows orange and red at sunset!! Credit: Beth Pratt | FOX 13's Paul Dellegatto

#ThrowbackThursday: These days, the 'Firefall' at Yosemite National Park is something that only appears a couple weeks in February. It's a natural occurrence created by the angle of the setting sun. But that's a far cry from the original 'Firefall' tradition, which began in 1872 when camp workers would dump hot embers off the top of Glacier Point to the valley below. Check out this footage of the event from 1950, 18 years before the National Park Service put an end to the tradition because crowd

Firefall season has officially begun in Yosemite…and tonight was one of the first potential viewing evenings of the year. I filmed this timelapse of El Capitan and Horsetail Fall in real time so you can see exactly what conditions looked like. Clouds moved in just before sunset — blocking the light that creates the glowing “Firefall” effect. That’s the part many people don’t realize… Firefall isn’t guaranteed. It requires: • Flowing water in Horsetail Fall • Clear western skies • The right sunse
