Natural Firefall

Trip Stop: 
Narrative: 

One of Yosemite National Park’s most amazing spectacles, which normally occurs around the second week of February, when the setting sun hits Horsetail Fall 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. Well, as luck would have it, because of the torrential rains of the past few days, Horsetail Falls was running again, and the lighting at the end of October is nearly identical to that of the February window of the Firefall!
