Firefall, Horsetail Fall

For two weeks in February, given the right conditions, the setting sun hits Horsetail Fall at the perfect angle, illuminating the waterfall and making it glow.

Firefall, Glacier Point

For nearly 100 years, blazing embers were pushed over the edge of Glacier Point, creating a glittering stream of light.

My name is James Kaiser and I learned about Yosemite's Firefall while researching my guidebook: Yosemite: The Complete Guide. To help people learn more, I created this website. Hope you like it!
