The Yosemite Park Firefall Has Begun [VIDEO]

For around two weeks each February, the sunset turns the Horsetail Falls in Yosemite Park, California into an incredible bright orange “firefall” that looks like flowing lava. And it’s happening right now.

The firefall is just a trick of the light – the water doesn’t actually turn into lava for around two weeks every February, although that would be cool. That said, it gets its name from Yosemite tradition that ran from the 1930s to the late 1960s, where employees at the Yosemite Park pushed piles of burning embers off of Glacier Point to create an actual firefall.

It only took 30 years for these guys to figure out that maybe pushing piles of burning wood down a waterfall wasn’t the safest thing possible.

The sun-powered version of the firefall will be visible in the park for the next two weeks or so.
