Conditions have to be just right to see the glow. Skies must be clear; the slightest haze or passing cloud around sunset time can ruin the effect. “It’s a natural phenomenon and there’s no way to predict what it’s going to be like,” Richards says.There’s no single perfect viewing spot to see the light show. No permits or passes are required either.
Where you choose to stand really depends on when you go during the two-week period. “The sunset starts out on the west side of the rocks during early February and progressively moves east. ... If you want to see the falls all lit up in the early firefalls season, go further east. As the sunset moves east you can move east to get good shots,” Meyers writes online.For anyone angling for a great shot, a good camera and sturdy tripod are a must.
