Hurry up! The latest and most comprehensive guide to Yosemite's Firefall in 2024

I planned a 2-day, 1-night trip to Yosemite. No need to rush for reservations on non-weekend days. The first day, we start late from Fresno and arrive after 1 PM to start taking photos and checking in The fastest way to get 9️⃣ photos for your social circle: Tunnel View (get off the car and take a photo just like the Apple wallpaper) — Bridalveil Falls (a 5-minute walk to the base of the falls) - Swinging Bridge Panic Area (don't miss the huge sequoia forest next to the bridge, it's great for photos) - Yosemite Falls Parking, start walking around 4 PM, there are photo spots along the way to stop and take pictures. Here comes the highlight 🌟🌟 How to photograph the Firefall 1. Non-disabled cars park at Yosemite Falls Parking, follow the crowd towards El Capitan, and if you have time, I recommend taking the dirt path through the woods instead of the paved road, the lakeside is great for photos and the air is better. 2. Arrive at the shooting spot around 4:40, there will be lots of people so you won't miss it, there are many professional photographers gathered on the side and a bit more towards the front, if you're adventurous with your phone, I recommend walking a bit further to the front for a better spot, professionals definitely don't need my recommendation! The shooting location is in picture 4 3. Finally, around 5:30, successfully photograph the Firefall! The 2024 Firefall prediction time is in picture 5, relax, going too early is just freezing, there are many spots where you can take a good photo. 4. Tips for phone photographers: Lower the brightness a bit after focusing for more vivid colors! Don't forget to turn your head after shooting the Firefall to take a photo of the opposite Golden Cap Mountain, it's also very beautiful.
