Horsetail Fall only flows in the winter or spring, when there is enough rain and snow. In February, the sun lights up the waterfall for only about two minutes at dusk.

The natural wonder draws scores of people to Yosemite Valley for a spot near the waterfall, which flows down the granite face of the park’s famed rock formation El Capitan.

Every February for a few days, the setting sun illuminates Horsetail Fall, making it glow like a cascade of molten lava.

California’s Yosemite National Park is again wowing visitors and photographers with its annual “firefall.”
