"Record-Breaking Heatwave Lures Tourists to Death Valley, California"

Despite extreme temperatures and a major heat wave, tourists are still visiting Death Valley National Park, known as the lowest, hottest, and driest place on Earth. The temperatures are expected to climb even higher, potentially breaking records. While most visitors stay close to their air-conditioned vehicles, some are willing to brave the heat. The park advises against hiking after 10 a.m. and warns of the dangers of the scorching heat. Other national parks, such as Grand Canyon National Park and Big Bend National Park, also have warnings in place. So far this year, at least four people have died from heat-related causes across national park sites.
