00:00 For over two weeks in February, thousands of people flocked to Yosemite

00:05 National Park hoping to catch a glimpse of a fiery waterfall. "I'm here to see

00:11 experience and photograph the firefalls." Firefall, which takes place at Horsetail

00:17 Falls, is when light from the setting Sun hits the mountain just right, making the

00:22 water glow orange or red. "It literally looked like lava fire coming off of the

00:27 wall." "It's beautiful and it's not something you see every day." The show isn't

00:32 always guaranteed. The sky has to be clear at dusk and even a few clouds at

00:38 the wrong time can block the waterfall. "It doesn't look like there's any clouds

00:42 in the sky so I'm pretty sure we're gonna see it." To control the crowds this

00:46 year, the National Park Service is requiring reservations to enter Yosemite

00:51 on weekends this month. Day-use reservations will be released two

00:55 mornings in advance on recreation.gov. For AccuWeather, I'm Emmy Victor.
