Yosemite Firefall is actually not lava, but a ray of sunlight. This only happens for one to two weeks near the end of February if there is enough snow and semi-clear sunset....and it only lasts for 10 minutes of less.

Faux Falls by James Marvin Phelps Via Flickr: Faux Falls Moab, Utah September 2023 Faux Falls isn't a natural wonder; it's a masterpiece of human engineering. The water is diverted from the meandering Mill Creek through an underground labyrinth beneath Brimley Ridge, only to let the water gracefully tumble over Faux Falls. The culmination of this hydrological action takes place at Ken's Lake, where the water is stored, a vision conceived in the minds of early settlers who dared to dream big in the Moab wilderness. The project's completion, a testament to their perseverance, didn't materialize until the year 1981.

Faux Falls by James Marvin Phelps Via Flickr: Faux Falls Moab, Utah September 2023 Faux Falls near Moab is a desert surprise—a man-made waterfall created by diverted Mill Creek water and stored in Ken’s Lake. A short, easy walk leads to water spilling over red rock, best seen in spring when winter runoff keeps the flow strong.
