The Double Rainbow viral video was filmed just outside which U.S. national park?

The Double Rainbow viral video was filmed just outside Yosemite National Park.

Paul “Bear” Vasquez recorded the famous clip in 2010 from the front yard of his property near Yosemite in Mariposa County, California. The footage shows a vivid double rainbow while Vasquez reacts with intense excitement, repeatedly asking what the sight might mean. The combination of an ordinary backyard setting and his emotional commentary gave the video its distinctive appeal.

A double rainbow occurs when sunlight is reflected twice inside raindrops. The second arc appears outside the primary rainbow, with its color order reversed and usually with weaker brightness. That natural phenomenon is why the clip is often remembered as a spectacular Yosemite moment, even though it was not filmed deep inside the national park itself.

The video was uploaded to YouTube in January 2010 and later became a major viral sensation. The Gregory Brothers produced an autotuned remix called “Double Rainbow Song,” helping the phrase enter internet culture. The correct location is Yosemite National Park—not the Grand Canyon, Zion, or Yellowstone.
