The Worlds Tallest Thermometer In Baker Was Built To Commemorate What Happened In Death Valley, California On July 10, 1913

Date of writing: November 24, 2022

Brad and Zoe, at one time made frequent trips rom Las Vegas to Los Angeles, traveling through Baker, California, via I-15 which crosses the desert.

Baker is best known for having the tallest thermometer in the world at 134 feet, and considered the gateway to Death Valley.

The thermometer was built to commemorate the “official world record” setting temperature of 134º F, set in nearby Death Valley (Furnace Creek) on July 10, 1913. Yes, the “official” hottest temperature on the planet earth, and a record that stands to this day.

The following photo of the thermometer was during a trip on Tuesday, November 22, 2022. On that day the temperature was a cold 30 degrees, which is quite the change from the record setting temp.
