Each year in February, if the conditions are just right, Yosemite National Park's Horsetail Fall will glow bright orange for a phenomenon fans call the "Firefall."
When sun hits the waterfall at the right angle, it lights the water -- which flow down the side of the rock formation El Capitan -- for about 10 minutes.
