The Yosemite Firefall is a natural phenomenon where the setting sun illuminates Horsetail Fall, a small waterfall on the eastern face of El Capitan, creating a vibrant orange glow that appears to resemble a waterfall of fire. This occurs for about two weeks in mid to late February. | Angela Cochran

This is what Yosemite’s “Firefall” looked like on February 21, 2026. After last week’s snowstorm, conditions aligned and Horsetail Fall lit up like molten lava flowing down El Capitan. Yes many people call this Firefall…and it certainly looks like fire but the manmade Firefall off Glacier Point stopped in 1969 and this is the natural Horsetail Fall phenomenon, when the setting sun hits the waterfall at just the right angle in February. A few important notes if you’re planning a trip👇 • Great vi

Firefall season has officially begun in Yosemite…and tonight was one of the first potential viewing evenings of the year. I filmed this timelapse of El Capitan and Horsetail Fall in real time so you can see exactly what conditions looked like. Clouds moved in just before sunset — blocking the light that creates the glowing “Firefall” effect. That’s the part many people don’t realize… Firefall isn’t guaranteed. It requires: • Flowing water in Horsetail Fall • Clear western skies • The right sunse

Here’s a look at the realtime Firefall conditions tonight in Yosemite National Park — 2/12/2026🔥 A slight glow was visible on Horsetail Fall — but clouds and limited water flow softened the effect. Was it worth it to visit tonight? I think so—but let me know your thou in the comments below👇 🔥 Firefall depends on three key factors: • Clear western sky • Strong sunset angle • Enough waterfall flow When all three align — that’s when the “lava glow” really shows.
