Yosemite National Park Lava Falls
Experience Yosemite's magical Horsetail Falls Firefall, a natural spectacle of light mimicking flowing lava, visible in February under perfect conditions.


El famoso Firefall de Yosemite. Se trata de uno de los fenΓ³menos naturales mΓ‘s espectaculares del Parque Nacional de Yosemite: Horsetail Fall (Cascada de la Cola de Caballo), que fluye por el borde este de El Capitan. Cuando las condiciones son perfectas, el sol del atardecer la ilumina y la hace brillar como si fuera lava o fuego cayendo por la pared de granito. #firefall #yosemite #captain
Yosemite National Park Lava Falls
Believe it or not, the illusion above isn't lava - it's a waterfall in Yosemite National Park. You see, each year for about a week or so in mid-late February, the setting sun in Yosemite hits Horsetail Falls just right and produces a vibrant display of orange that makes the falls look like they're on fire. Aptly, this phenomenon is called the "Firefall", and photographers try each year to plan their trip just right to get a chance at shooting this incredible spectacle.
