See it to believe it: Yosemite National Park’s February firefall

California’s Yosemite National Park is one of the prime attractions of the state, and we are right around the corner for some spectacularly rare event, known as the Yosemite Firefall. It happens annually, thanks to a divine moment of nature. So, if you want to check this amazing anual phenomenon, do visit Yosemite soon, but before that, read on.

What causes this firefall?
The Yosemite Firefall that occurs annually is reserved for those who are punctual and lucky. It takes place when light from the setting sun casts rays on a waterfall here, called the Horsetail Fall. If you are one of those lucky and punctual visitors, you will be able to see that the water looks like it is on fire, much like lava. In its true sense, it is really an illusion, but definitely worth your time.


However, there are certain factors that need to play out in perfect sync in order to make it work, and one of the most important factors is that there should be enough water flowing. You also need to have clear weather on that day, with the setting sun falling on the water. The phenomenon is due to occur in February, and if you are lucky enough, you can see it with your own eyes.
Yosemite authorities will make provisions for this special event from February 14 to 27, 2020. You would probably have to wait for it to happen but if and when it does, sure enough, it is going to be really exciting. The most popular location to view this phenomenon is the El Capitan Picnic Area, but you can set up camp elsewhere too.
