Trivia: What unique feature in Yosemite National Park occurs only during February?
A superbloom
Synchronous fireflies
A “firefall”
Glacial calving
The correct answer is A “firefall”
So why is this answer correct? : The Yosemite Firefall phenomenon occurs for about two weeks in February — and only if conditions are exactly right. Snowpack in the surrounding mountains melts and feeds Horsetail Fall, which flows over the edge of Yosemite’s famous granite monolith El Capitan. On clear evenings, the setting sun shines on the water and its mist, reflecting vibrant orange and red hues so that it looks like fire cascading down the mountain.
