Temperatures in the largest national park in the Lower 48 states are expected to intensify over the weekend, potentially setting new records amid a major U.S. heat wave.
A sign says 'Extreme Heat Danger' is seen near the Red Canyon trail as 120 Fahrenheit is expecting on weekend in Death Valley, California, United States on July 9, 2023. As uninviting as it sounds, Death Valley National Park beckons.
"I was really noticing, you know, I didn’t feel so hot, but my body was working really hard to cool myself," said Jusehus, an active runner who was visiting from Germany. His photo showed the thermometer reading at 120 degrees Fahrenheit . In west Texas, Big Bend National Park near the Rio Grande is expected to be at least 110 F . The National Weather Service has said it's best to just stay off the trails in the afternoon.
More than 1.1 million people annually visit the desert park, which sits over a portion of the California-Nevada border west of Las Vegas. At 5,346 square miles , it's the largest national park in the Lower 48. About one-fifth of the visitors come in June, July and August.
