Waterfall Spectacularly Glows Like Lava at Yosemite National Park

Title Waterfall Spectacularly Glows Like Lava at Yosemite National Park
Summary This rare phenomenon at sunset caused the waterfall to appear as though it were on fire. On February 22nd, Rachel Weaver was lucky enough to visit the national park to witness the sun illuminating the Horsetail Fall in Yosemite National Park, California. In order to see the optical illusion, the snow needed to melt to create a water flow and then be hit by the sunset at the correct angle.
