But the truth about Death Valley is far more intriguing. 1  Itâs the largest National Park in the lower 48 states with 3.3 million acres. 2  It was established as a National Monument in 1933 and as a National Park on Oct. 31, 1994.  It has the lowest elevation in the Western Hemisphere at Badwater (282 feet below sea level)
Temperatures in Death Valley (at Greenland Ranch, which is now known as Furnace Creek Ranch) soared to 134 F on July 10, 1913, the highest temperature ever recorded in the world. That date was actually one of five consecutive days when Death Valley recorded a high of 129 degrees or higher. For a time, Death Valley lost the world's all-time record high to El Azizia, Libya. However, it was given back to Death Valley in September 2012 after a World Meteorological Organization panel determined that the temperature of 136 F registered at El Azizia on Sept. 13, 1922, was invalid. While a high of 134 F is extreme even by Death Valley's standards, blazing heat is not uncommon.
