The Breathtaking Fire Falls of California

There is always a sense of magic and wonder that comes with waterfalls. But this waterfall is the superstar of all waterfalls and goes one notch higher making an illusion of a "Firefall.” The fall paints a beautiful picture by creating an illusion of rich golden and molten lava.

You can spot this marvellous wonder of nature at the famous Yosemite National Park of California. This beautiful phenomenon is a result of the lovely reflection of the fiery rays of the sun on the waterfall. Witnessing the beauty at the brisk of dusk is one of the most beautiful sights that you will ever witness!

This beautifully natural phenomenon is best witnessed in the clear weather when the rays of the sunshine hit and bounce off at a particular angle which creates the wonderful illusion of the rich lava flowing through the mountains like an angry monster.

The aptest conditions require a clear sky with the absence of any fog, coupled with sufficient water from the snowmelt to create the perfect recipe for a marvellous fire fall!

Best Time to Witness this Wonder

The best time to witness this lovely phenomenon is during January and February with dusk being the most appropriate time to get awestruck by this wonderful natural phenomenon.

Best Place for the Fall

However, this fire illusion lasts for just ten minutes so you need to be there before time hence you miss this one in a million opportunities. You are sure to find many photographers with a hawk eye waiting to capture the perfect shot of the amazing Firefall.
#Tip- Head over to El Capitan picnic area,  which is about 1.7 miles after Yosemite Lodge at the Falls on the Northside Drive to seize the moment.
