Cold days in the middle of Winter doesn’t always draw a lot of people to Yosemite Valley. The one exception is a short lived phenomenon in which the shadow of El Capitan sweeps across the face of the cliffs to align perfectly with Horsetail Fall causing the waterfall to glow in the dazzling colors of the setting sun. The effect gives the impression of falling lava or fire reminiscent of Yosemite’s famous Firefall where hot glowing embers were pushed off the cliffs of Glacier Point creating literally falling fire that could be seen from the valley floor. The Firefall event was discontinued in 1968 by the National Park Service in part due to huge crowds it drew and that it was not a naturally occurring event.

The event has become so popular that the National Park Service now sections of areas to accommodate special parking.
