Horsetail Fall Wednesday, February 24
Quick field edit from our Yosemite Winter Workshop this week. We'll be back in the Park in April for moonbows!
The sun starts to get too far north in late February to light Horsetail Fall through sunset. That's not entirely a bad thing, as the light almost entirely leaves the rock, leaving the brilliantly-lit water as a stream of light, hovering close to the rock face.
With particularly warm weather, the show of light on Horsetail Fall was far better on this night than on either of the two prior nights, which were supposedly more "peak" nights in someone's estimation. Nice of them to redirect crowds away from the actual peak nights, which are far more weather-driven than predictable by sun and rock geometry.
