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.

The Liquid Fire: The Yosemite Firefall For a few fleeting moments each February, a small waterfall in Yosemite National Park undergoes a magical transformation. As the sun begins to set, the water of Horsetail Fall catches the light at a very specific angle, glowing with such intensity that it looks like molten lava pouring over the edge of the massive El Capitan rock formation. What makes this a “Terra Encyclopedia” wonder is the extreme rarity of the conditions required. For the “Firefall” to

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. Yes many people call this Firefall…and it certainly looks like fire but the manmade Firefall off Glacier Point stopped in 1969 and this is the natural Horsetail Fall phenomenon, when the setting sun hits the waterfall at just the right angle in February. A few important notes if you’re planning a trip👇 • Great vi
