Waterfalls in United States

Glowing Horsetail Falls, California
Yosemite Valley is famed for its exceptional landforms and a home to signature landscapes captured by eminent photographers. Among the iconic destinations, the Glowing Horsetail Falls, or Firefalls as some call it, earns its name from a natural phenomenon.

During a short window in the last two weeks of February, the sunset’s orange and crimson rays illuminate the cascades. The reflection bids a visual illusion resembling a glowing horsetail or a streak of trembling liquid gold.
