    With 134 feet, this landmark in the desert town of Baker is the tallest thermometer worldwide. It was built in 1991 at a cost of 700,000 Dollars by a local businessman in honor of the record temperature of 134 degree Fahrenheit (57 degree Celsius) which was set on July 10, 1913 in Death Valley.

      The thermometer is located in the aptly named Baker, California, about halfway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas in the Mojave Desert. The temperature gauge is 134 feet tall and commemorates the world record of 134 degrees Fahrenheit set on July 10, 1913 in nearby Death Valley - an extreme temperature that is still considered the highest temperature ever observed on Earth.
