Yosemite Firefall
For about two weeks every February, the setting sun turns Horsetail Fall into a ribbon of fire.

What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Fresno, San Francisco or Oakland for February 10 to 28, 2027, round trips of 2 to 5 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- Yosemite has required a day-use reservation for peak Firefall weekends in recent years. Check nps.gov before you book anything.
- The glow needs snowmelt and a clear western sky. A dry winter or an overcast evening means no Firefall.
- Fresno is about 90 minutes from the valley floor. San Francisco and Oakland are a four-hour drive with far more fares.
