The window to catch Yosemite’s Horsetail Falls on fire is closing shortly, so if you’re hoping to catch a glimpse of this potentially sick display of light and water, you’d best get thee to YNP ASAP. Made ultra-famous by the 1973 Galen Rowell photograph, the phenomenon occurs when the alpenglowish setting sun hits the top of the waterfall, which plummets almost 1,600 from the east side of El Cap. There are just two weeks each year when the angles line up, but all depends on weather and how much water is running. You have until February 24. Get going, pilgrim. Via Boston Globe.
