A long standing tradition but one I don't agree with in a National Park dedicated to preserving wild lands. Enough of my rant. Absolutely wonderful shot. Well worth the wait I think.

Second trip to Yosemite recently. Specifically to shoot the famous Firefall event, which happens 2n and 3rd week every February. With only 50% snowfall and weather issues, I was feeling it was unlikely to happen. I got in position 6 hours early to make sure I had a spot. It was scary with on and off cloud cover most the day. But I hung in there to the end with hundreds of not well over a thousand photographers. The sky opened as the sun was settimg at just the right angle to create the glow in the falls and was able to use all 12 min of shooting time.

Great shot! I'm glad you hung in there and were able to share the photo! There are a few shots that must be done at just the right time. I live close to NYC and one day I will try to shoot the NY Stonehenge. That shot is a one-day event where the sun lines up in such a way that shooting straight down 34th Street is reminiscent of shooting the sun coming up between two of the pillars at Stonehenge.
