A relatively small waterfall, the Horsetail flows over the eastern edge of El Capitan in Yosemite Valley, most reliably in winter. However, during mid- to late February, it can momentarily glow orange when it's backlit by the setting Sun, which sets in just the right place to shine on the Horsetail Fall for about 10 minutes. Certain conditions are needed such as clear skies, a big snowfall during the winter, and warm days later to melt the snow and create the waterfall
