Amazing Yosemite Firefall

In 1871, before Yosemite was a National Park, James McCauley retained trail builder John Conway to build the Four-Mile Trail from Yosemite Valley, where McCauley had a home at the trailhead, to Glacier Point. The Yosemite Firefall was a summer time ritual that lasted from 1872 until 1968 in which burning hot embers were dropped a height of about 3000 feet from the top of Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park down to the valley below, and from a distance looked similar to a glowing water fall because the people who dumped the embers made sure to do so in a uniform fashion.
