## Caption

Have you ever seen a waterfall cosplaying as a firefall? For a brief window each winter, the angle of the setting sun, melting snow, and cascades from melting snow on El Capitan create the illusion of a stream of golden fire—a phenomenon that's attracted visitors to Yosemite National Park for decades. 

#AmericasNationalParks is now streaming on DisneyPlus and hulu.
