FURNACE CREEK – The Hottest Town On Earth – Why Do 136 People Live Here?



I visited the Hottest Place in the World, which is also the Hottest, Driest, Lowest Elevation Town in the United States, chatted with some locals & tourists, and experienced highest recorded temperature of 2024 in America.

Furnace Creek, a remote small town in Eastern California is a beautiful resort town in Death Valley National Park which also holds the record as the Hottest Town on Earth, with an average July high temperature of 126°F. It recorded not only highest ever recorded temperature of 134°F on July 10, 1913, but is also the only place which has multiple verified temperatures OVER 130°F.

What is life really like in Inyo County and Death Valley National Park? And why do 300 to 600 residents choose to live in one of the most inhospitable regions of the world? Join me on this epic road trip to find out.

  1. The exorbitant gas prices, as you call it in California, are from the EPA. You never saw the horrible smog before, even in remote places, because it drifted in. Be thankful you can visit National Parks without that thick layer of smog. Now, the wild fires are another subject 😂

  2. 12:45. You would think at sea level or below it would be cooler as you are further away from the sun. When you are in the mountains at higher altitudes, it should be hotter since you are getting closer to the sun. Seems counterintuitive to me.

  3. I was in Death Valley on July 15th. At the Visitor Center, it was only 118 at about 2:30 PM. I loved the energy and enthusiasm of the Europeans. They loved the conditions and were probably disappointed in the "cool" weather. I had a reservation at the Opera House ($141) and stayed there that night. Found a good spot under the Tamarisk trees and pulled out my chair and cooler, drank beer and played on the old grading equipment. The hotel may not be the cheapest place, but I was happy to support the place and enjoy the peace and quiet and desert beauty.

  4. Death Valley is a wild and crazy place. Has a character all of its own. Forty-five years ago I used to camp on Telescope Peak, 11,043 feet above the west side of Death Valley and over looks Death Valley, it's beautiful up there and probably 30 to 40 degrees F cooler than Death Valley. The desert could be deadly, so you should always be respectful of it. ~ I always enjoyed Death Valley whenever I went there.

  5. I heard of a guy who bought land in a area like that and everyone laughed at him. But he didn't build on top of the his land he started digging underground. He had a big house that was nice and cool.

  6. There's a lot of water I lived in a mobile home trailer with three air conditioners run 24/7 hours a day, but the company that I work for they pay for your housing part of the deal to live there and work there

  7. That was a great video, that structure was built from adobe and that river/stream was a wash. And the round thing you said was a well was a rock mill, and they don't pump borax it comes from a rock mineral and is mined.
