Sunset Turns Horsetail Fall A Fiery Orange: Photo

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, CA — Annanya Ghosh took this remarkable photo of the famous “Firefall” phenomenon at Horsetail Fall in Yosemite National Park.

This rare event occurs in mid-to-late February, when the setting sun aligns perfectly with the waterfall, illuminating it with a fiery orange glow that resembles flowing lava.

According to the National Park Service, "This unique lighting effect happens only on evenings with a clear sky when the waterfall is flowing and when the sun is at the right angle in mid– to late February."

Photographers visit from all over the world, hoping to capture the stunning display. The park service required reservations each weekend in February this year. Keep that in mind if you hope to visit next year.
