1. This beautiful and at the same time frightening waterfall is located in the National Park of California (USA) - Yosemite. It's called Horsetail Fall. Just a few days in February, you can see with your own eyes a rare phenomenon - the reflection of the rays of the setting sun in the falling stream of the waterfall. The waterfall turns fiery orange. This waterfall is located on the eastern slope of El Capitan mountain.

5. Waterfall Horsetail Fall is two falling streams about 480 m high. The total height of the waterfall is 650 meters. The best location for shooting is the northern road leading to Yosemite Valley, east of Mount El Capitan.

6. What looks like red-hot lava flowing from the top of a mountain is actually an amazing visual illusion of nature itself - the rays of a sunset falling on a waterfall. But this is only until February, when fire “carved by the sun” breaks down from the rocks instead of water. It was by this time that photographers and travelers gathered on the northern approach to Mount El Capitan in order to capture this miracle of nature.

7. Horsetail Falls is located in the spurs of the Sierra Nevada, west of Lake Tahoe in the desert of El Dorado County. It falls in stages from over 150 meters and can be reached on foot heading north of the Twin Bridges.

8. Yosemite is located in the middle of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California. It takes about 3 hours to get there from San Francisco. Everywhere the park is surrounded by wild forests, which gives it an aura of secret location.
