IMG_6897 Firefall, Yosemite National Park
Galen Rowell popularizes the Firefall, sunset version of Horsetail Falls, in Yosemite National Park. Since Horsetail Falls only has a small amount of water fed by winter snowfall, it restricts the opportunity to see the Firefall. Mid to late February is the best time to see this waterfalls at its best. Don't feel surprised if you see over one hundred gathering at this time. You still need to be lucky since the clouds tend to block the light from the sun at the last moment. This is my second time waiting for it and I am really lucky to see it.
