El Capitan Yosemite National Park
Charles Winstead was scaling the 3,000-foot granite wall of El Capitan in Yosemite Valley this week when an unfamiliar flapping sound erupted overhead and startled him. BASE jumping, the sport of leaping from fixed objects like buildings or cliffs and then parachuting to the ground, was pioneered in Yosemite National Park in the 1970s. While it has been effectively verboten there since the 1980s, BASE has continued to occur in secret. Read more at the link in our bio. A small group of BASE jumpe

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to stand on top of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park? 🏞️⛰️ That huge granite wall that takes your breath away the moment you come out of the Wawona Tunnel 😍… or when you’re driving through Yosemite Valley and can’t stop staring at it - yes, that El Capitan. 🏞️ Well, guess what? You can actually hike to the top! 😱🥾 It’s not an easy hike (your legs will definitely feel it later 😂), but if you love a good challenge, this one is totally worth it. The vi

The Yosemite Firefall is a natural phenomenon where the setting sun illuminates Horsetail Fall, a small waterfall on the eastern face of El Capitan, creating a vibrant orange glow that appears to resemble a waterfall of fire. This occurs for about two weeks in mid to late February. | Angela Cochran

Yosemite’s El Capitan wows visitors with ‘firefall’ phenomenon

This is what Yosemite’s “Firefall” looked like on February 21, 2026. After last week’s snowstorm, conditions aligned and Horsetail Fall lit up like molten lava flowing down El Capitan. Yes many people call this Firefall…and it certainly looks like fire but the manmade Firefall off Glacier Point stopped in 1969 and this is the natural Horsetail Fall phenomenon, when the setting sun hits the waterfall at just the right angle in February. A few important notes if you’re planning a trip👇 • Great vi

I filmed this timelapse of El Capitan and Horsetail Fall in real time so you can see exactly what conditions looked like.

It requires: • Flowing water in Horsetail Fall • Clear western skies • The right sunse

Here’s a look at the realtime Firefall conditions tonight in Yosemite National Park — 2/12/2026🔥 A slight glow was visible on Horsetail Fall — but clouds and limited water flow softened the effect. Was it worth it to visit tonight? I think so—but let me know your thou in the comments below👇 🔥 Firefall depends on three key factors: • Clear western sky • Strong sunset angle • Enough waterfall flow When all three align — that’s when the “lava glow” really shows.
