Question: Standing 134 feet tall along Interstate 15 on the road to Las Vegas, the World’s Tallest Thermometer honors the blistering 134-degree record once logged in nearby Death Valley. In what small California desert town does it stand?

Answer: Baker. The 134-foot electric sign was built in 1991 next to the old Bun Boy restaurant, and both its height and its maximum reading nod to the 134-degree Fahrenheit temperature recorded in Death Valley on July 10, 1913.
