This month offers you the opportunity of a lifetime: to see Horsetail Fall, the waterfall that looks like it’s on fire. Learn more below about this incredible camping destination!

The Firefall

What do you get when you backlight a waterfall with a sunset? A one of a kind experience and lifelong memories! That’s exactly what happens here in Yosemite National Park in February.

Camping Destination

The NPS website shares the following:

Horsetail Fall can glow orange when it’s backlit by sunset, which can make it appear to be on fire. This unique lighting effect happens only on evenings with a clear sky when the waterfall is flowing and when the sun is at the right angle in mid- to late February.

As a result of this rare occurrence, reservations are absolutely required. Get the details here.
