Firefall is a natural wonder of this world. Why? Well, you have to be in the right place, at the right time, and California has to have had a good year of snow. In other words, to see Firefalls everything has to align.

Most of the year, Horsetail Fall is one of Yosemite’s less-remarkable waterfalls. Although it drops an impressive 2,130 feet (650 m), the small stream at the top of El Capitan doesn’t have the massive volume of some of the more well-known waterfalls like Yosemite Falls or Bridalveil Fall. Fed exclusively through snowmelt and run-off, it dries up in the summer months and disappears entirely.

However, for a few weeks starting in February, everything comes together to make this humble waterfall an international celebrity. There are several factors that go into creating this magnificent spectacle.
