“Firefall” happens once a year in Yosemite in late February, as the sunset hits Horserail Fall from just the right angle to illuminate it to look like fire. Weather and conditions have to be just right for the phenomenon to work. The light was perfect, but the water flow is a bit weak right now. Next week might be a little better after these upcoming storms. Still a cool experience! Have you ever seen it? #firefall #yosemite | Alex Nye Art

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.

The original man-made Yosemite Firefall was an event where bonfire embers were pushed off the cliff at Glacier Point. This Mariposa Gold episode looks at an important artifact from that nightly ceremony that you can still see today at the Mariposa Museum & History Center. 📰 | https://bit.ly/45AsXIg (Museum info) #YosemiteNation - Visit Gold Country - Visit California - California High Sierra - Mariposa Museum & History Center Inc | Yosemite Nation
