Short answer: On 15 October 2027: Best rainbow from Lower Yosemite Fall footbridge, 08:35–17:00 (strongest around 10:50), if the sun is out. Every day of October is in the table. Water level in October: low.
Lower Yosemite Fall throws a wide spray over the footbridge at its base in spring. Valley walls hide the low sun, so rainbows need the sun well up and behind you.
