OMG!!! I have grown up my entire life hearing stories about this! My grandfather has told me about seeing this as a small child while on vacation with his mother, I could never even come close to imagining how beautiful it truly is!

[...] During February, the setting sun turns the falls’ waters golden, making the water look like molten lava or liquid gold. Great photo and a must see place. link [...]

Doing a little google search I found that the ‘embers’ were discontinued in 1968. That photo clearly wasn’t shot in 1968. Also yosemitepark.com, the official site for the park refers to the falls as a, ” ‘natural firefall’ (which) appears when the angle of the setting sun sets the waterfall ablaze with reds and oranges.” The site states it occurs for a few weeks in February.
****As for Rincewind’s comments about American’s believing anything; get over yourself and do some fact finding before you play the ‘dumb American’ card.
