Did you know that when Horsetail Fall lights up like fire during the sunset in February, the effect is only visible from a certain angle? On today, make sure you take this into account if you’re looking to visit our park next month for the Horsetail Fall event (along with getting your entrance reservation for visiting on most weekends and the holiday!)

Although you certainly get a nice view of El Capitan and the fall from the west, the famous effect only occurs if you watch from a more easternly vantage, such as in El Capitan Picnic Area. The decision of where to go is quite easy these days as a set of road and trail closures during the event will funnel you into some of these prime viewing locations (and away from more sensitive ecological features like riverbanks.) However, to see the effect, you’re going to need to park and grab a spot in the designated areas alongside everyone else.

So, get your reservation on Recreation.gov two days in advance of your trip if you’re visiting on the last three weekends or holiday this February, and ultimately plan to arrive no later than mid-morning for the sunset. Even though Horsetail Fall may be visible near Bridalveil Fall, there’s no “firefall” to see for those stuck in traffic west of El Capitan.

Beginning Friday, May 20, 2022, Yosemite National Park will implement a temporary peak-hours reservation system. Building on lessons learned during the summer reservation systems in 2020 and 2021, the peak hours reservation system is designed to spread visitation out and reduce chronic congestion in the park. The reservation requirement will be in place through September 30, 2022.

Park visitors will need a reservation to enter the park between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m. seven days per week (this includes people passing through the park). Visitors entering the park outside of the peak hours are not required to have a reservation.

Visit go.nps.gov/faq for more information.
