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.

A few important notes if you’re planning a trip👇 • Great vi
