    Temp 134 - Willis & Barbra Herron original owner & founders of The Worlds Tallest Thermometer 1991

    Temp 134 Gift Shop includes the World's Tallest Thermometer visible from the I-15 whIch states,…read more"Baker, CA Gateway to Death Valley": "Willis Herron was a Baker businessman who spent $700,000 to build the thermometer in 1991 next to his Bun Boy restaurant. Its height--134 feet--was in honor of the 134-degree record temperature set in nearby Death Valley on July 10, 1913 Mrs. Herron & the family of Willis Herron, who died in 2007, recovered ownership of the property in 2014 and stated their intention to make it operational again. The official re-lighting took place on July 10, 2014." Everytime I went to Las Vegas the tall  thermometer faithfully greeted, informed me of the temperature & being on the last leg of my trip to Sin City.  However, I kept blowing it by until this trip after I chowing down massive tasting menus and wine pairings at Guy Savoy and Jöel Robuchon, I needed to actually stop in Baker for a fast food break at the Mad Greek to balance out the ying with the yang.  Took massive amounts of photos of this iconic landmark and felt obliged to purchase a souvenir to help light the Thermometer for even one minute worth of electricity. Friendly, young man was a great raconteur full of informative stories about the Herrons and the Thermometer. He was a great docent in a gift shop that actually was more like a museum for the town of Baker.  Apparently, the owner of Alien Jerky tried to buy this property and then tear down the Thermometer!!!  Wow!  The Bun Boy restaurant was succeeded by a Korean BBQ concern that gave the Mad Greek a run for its money, but went out of business w/ the Corona Virus Covid Pandemic of 2020 and still remains empty.  There is a portrait of Mr. & Mrs. Herron w/ a table of tribute offerings to honor the creator of Baker's landmark. I got a refrigerator magnet that has a real workIng alcohol thermometer which does not depend on electricity for pollution free operation.  The shop is immaculately clean & bright.  There are souvenir t-shirts, baseball caps, books, drinks to keep hydrated on sale. Also, Baltimore Shaved Ice for those unbearable, hot drives thru the desert.  Totally cool gift shop.   Don't forget to see the cast iron frying pan outside to see if an egg can be fried under the scorching desert summer sun.....And it turns out to be fake plastic eggs.   5 stars for honoring a big landmark in a very small town.

I love how the family has continued to cherish the big ole thermometer. It really makes Baker something special! I like supporting a local, family business vs a giant chain. Thanks for always making my stop worthwhile.

Going into the visitor's center requires driving through some unpaved roads, but it's not bad. The woman who helped us out was so nice and such a pleasure to chat with about the area. And she helped set our kids up with Junior Ranger books and gave them hints to get them started. At the visitor's center, there's also a room where they show a short movie about the area. The exhibits around the center are likewise very informative and interactive - the kids loved them! The shop is small but stocked well. The entrance to Crystal Springs is right outside and is a short walk. Out there, there are informative signs, and 2 sets of binoculars towards the center, which is shaded. The path is a boardwalk, and we saw a lot of birds, jackrabbits, and lizards. We also heard a snake at one point. Towards the farthest area of the walk, the water feeding the spring becomes visible, and there are some small fish! The spring itself is beautiful. Such crystal clear water, and it's like a deep bluish green.

    This NWR is an amazing place to hike, bird watch and just enjoy nature away from everything. There…read moreare so many great boardwalks and trails and a big nice visitor center. There are so many different areas with springs to explore. You can see rare fish in some spots and many great desert birds. Being binoculars and a camera if you're so inclined! You can also visit the Longstreet Cabin, although we didn't have time to.

    Nice place to grab a quick snack. We were in town during a recent trip to Death Valley National…read morePark and this place came highly recommended to us. It did not disappoint! There are multiple small eateries inside with different hours. The main area has a bunch of snacks, including many sugar-free options. They also have toys and some novelties. Not the cheapest, but pretty reasonably priced overall. We tried the coconut dark chocolate haystacks and laffy taffy. The haystacks were really good. So much dark chocolate and nuttiness. The laffy taffy was alright. Prone to melting even at room temperature, but the kids enjoyed most of the flavors. There's also a gas station - very convenient!

    Snack Heaven [Beatty NV]…read more During road trips we like to stop by this store for snacks before heading to and out of Las Vegas. More than a convenience store it is a gift shop offering hot food, desserts and bulk candies of all types to satisfy anyone's sweet tooth... it is a specialty shop where you can order fresh sandwiches and other made-to-go items and get your hands on chocolate, beef jerky, nuts, snacks like popcorn, dried fruits, wasabi peas, and more salty treats, and of course, ice cream and just about any type of candy you can dream up. We shared a beef burrito... it was good. The banana split was yummy! They also sell stuffed donkey toys and other souvenir merchandise but you will also see real donkeys there sometimes blocking a gas pump LoL! This is definitely a one-stop shop for gas, candy, ice cream... and donkeys, if you're lucky to find them there while passing through Beatty in Nevada. The cold treats were perfect for triple-digit weather. Review #3962

This is the home to the world's largest thermometer and Alien Fresh Jerky. I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have driven past this place but never stopped. Now, I like aliens just as much as the next guy, but it was one of those places that I really had no reason to top of. But let me tell you, I am so glad that I did. In addition to having probably the largest selection of beef jerky next to buc-ee's, this place has more alien stuff than you can shake a stick at. Honestly, this place really does look like it belong on the Vegas strip with its big LED signs and alien motif all throughout the exterior. Additionally, they are in the process of building a UFO hotel. I'm going to tell you this. I will be there as one of the first guests in line when this thing opens up. Let's talk about the jerky for a second, they're not kidding when they say it's fresh. I have purchased multiple bags here on multiple occasions, and I got to tell you this is some of the best beef jerky you can ask for. It's super tasty, and not like that really nasty hard stuff you buy out of gas station convenience store, this stuff really is fresh. I don't know how to quantify alien fresh, but this jerky iis probably some of the best I've ever had. Tons of different flavors and heat levels for every person's taste. Bottom line? This place Is definitely the place to stop when you're out on the road going to or from Las Vegas from Orange county. Honestly, It's a perfect pit stop.

Unfortunately, the customer service has declined tremendously and has become borderline rude. During our visit today, our daughters wanted to use the souvenir penny machine, but it took their money and wasn't working. When I politely mentioned it to the cashier, "Vicky," her response was simply, "Yeah, it's broken," with no apology or concern at all. I suggested they may want to put up a sign so other customers don't lose money, and she just shrugged and tossed our purchased items toward us before dismissing us. It was a really disappointing experience, especially at a place we've enjoyed for so many years. Sadly, this will probably be our last stop here. At this point, places like EddieWorld seem far more welcoming and worth the visit.
