According to a report on the US MSN website on February 15, a large number of photography enthusiasts began to gather in Yosemite National Park in California, preparing to shoot the natural wonder that can only be seen in a year-Fire Falls. Although a few days ago, the National Park Service issued a warning that the famous Horsetail Falls in Yosemite National Park may not be able to achieve this year’s natural “fire reduction”. But this doesn't seem to stop photography enthusiasts from trying their luck. The best sunny day this year is said to be from February 21 to February 23.
According to a CNN report on February 12, the park is preparing for the influx of photographers by imposing major restrictions. An alert on the National Parks website shows that the waterfall has "almost no water." Yosemite National Park also issued a statement: “Fire Falls, which can only be seen in a year, has almost no water this year.”
Temporary waterfalls in Yosemite National Park have become popular tourist attractions in February each year because of the right conditions. The water falls will turn into a fire waterfall, and the water will cascade down like flowing lava with a rotating flame, as if the sky fire is flowing to the earth. Because of this, the Yosemite Fire Falls is considered to be the most popular in Yosemite National Park. One of the amazing spectacles.
Yosemite National Park is located in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Central California, a few hours' drive from San Francisco. It covers an area of 1,100 square miles. The climate is Mediterranean, which means that most of the snowfall occurs in warm winters.
From December to April every year, the ice water after melting snow flows to the eastern edge of the El Capitan Mountains, forming a temporary Horsetail Falls. The temporary waterfall itself is an eye-catching attraction, but it is only truly breathtaking in a few days (7-10 days) in February. The annual fire fall of
attracts tens of thousands of spectators, causing some local traffic roads to be congested in February, which forces the park management department to implement new traffic control regulations in February. But many tourists who come here do not know that Fire Falls does not appear every year.
In order for the fire waterfall to appear, certain conditions must be met at the same time. For example, there must be snowfall in Yosemite, and the temperature of the warm winter must be high enough to melt the snow and form a waterfall. Therefore, when California suffers a drought, this temporary waterfall will not appear, and naturally there will be no wonder of the fire waterfall. Even if the above conditions are met, the Fire Falls can only appear when the weather is fine and the sunlight is at the right angle. The slightest haze may hinder the appearance of this spectacle. Fortunately, under the right conditions, this spectacle can last for several days.
