Every year around the end of February, the horsetail-shaped waterfall in Yosemite National Park, USA, attracts a large number of tourists from all over the world to admire the unique and miraculous natural phenomenon - the firefall.

Horsetail Falls itself is a spectacular sight, with water cascading down from the top. The water source comes from the melting snow accumulated on El Capitan mountain as the weather warms up.
But once a year, around the second week of February, starting from February 16th, Horsetail Falls begins to exhibit the "firefall" phenomenon. This is when the sun creates a rare, fiery spectacle. Sunlight shines on the water, causing the falls to glow a mesmerizing orange-red, like molten lava flowing from a volcano.
Once a year, around the second week of February, Horsetail begins to exhibit the "firefall" phenomenon.
However, waterfalls don't always glow like this. The conditions for this phenomenon to occur are that the outdoor temperature must be warm enough to melt the snow, the sky must be clear, and clouds must not obscure the light.
Thanks to the perfect combination of natural elements, a rare and breathtaking scene can now only be found in Yosemite. To witness the spectacular beauty of the firefalls firsthand, visitors must time their visit carefully, choose the right location, and have a bit of luck.

Every year, millions of visitors flock to Yosemite National Park in the United States to admire and witness this spectacular firefall, despite unfavorable weather conditions.
