Keen to catch Yosemite Firefall this year? 
For a few nights in February, Horsetail Fall glows bright orange as the setting sun hits it just right, and yep, it really does look like fire spilling down El Capitan. 🔥 

But timing is everything. You’ll need clear skies, enough snowmelt, and to be in the right place at the right time (it doesn’t happen every night). Add in crowd control, parking restrictions, and winter camping conditions, and planning ahead is key. 😱 

We’ve pulled together everything you need to know. The best dates, viewing spots, permits, winter camping tips, and where to stay nearby so you’re not rushing in last minute. ⛺️✨ 

Drop any emoji in the comments and we’ll DM you all the links.
