The Spectacular Horsetail Fall at the Yosemite National Park


When water flows during the few weeks in February at the Horsetail Fall, the park visitors & photographers gather here during the waning light of evening to witness a spectacular natural phenomenon. It is called The Horsetail Fall phenomenon. At this time of the day sunlight falls at such an angle that it sets the waterfall ablaze with the play of colors-of red & orange. It seems as if a river of fire is falling down the cliffs of El Capitan.



You can get most stunning views during the middle to late February. However it depends on the weather conditions. You may be luckier visiting the place before or after that time frame depending on the level of water flow & the cover of the cloud.
Most amazing photos can be clicked at the El Capitan picnic area. It is situated at around 1.7 miles from the Yosemite lodge on the Northside Drive of the Falls. During the latter part of February, you can see very often crowd of photographers of every distinction catching the last rays of the sun in the dusk in their cameras.

If you are a photography enthusiast willing to take unique images of the Fall, you need to explore different angels & shift through different locations. There are different locations that work wonders. Search for the locales where the Falls will be lit from the back by the sun. These locales can be found along the river or along the rim.

Try to visit this place during this time of the year to see this amazing natural phenomenon. Trip to the Horsetail Fall in Yosemite National Park will remain a lifetime experience for nature lovers & photographers.
