While winter in Yosemite National Park offers a spectacular opportunity to witness the national park's unparalleled beauty, there's one phenomenon in particular worth planning a trip around.
During the last two weeks of February, the angle of the setting sun transforms the 2,130-foot Horsetail Falls into what many have nicknamed "The Yosemite Firefall." The effect is so convincing that it almost appears as if lava is pouring out of the granite cliffside. For photographers, this spectacle is not to be missed, with many snatching up the best spots to catch the phenomenon as early as 5 a.m. each morning.

Almost looks like a lava flow. Would be an amazing thing to see it in person.

They used to yell, “Let the fire fall!” and dump embers off the cliff. You can see it in “The Caine Mutiny.”

The article has me confused. First they say its caused by the setting sun. Then they say it starts at 5 AM.

A camera on a drone, would get spectacular images; but alas, they are banned.

For night owls who stay up late the sun always sets early.
