Ready to take the next step

The World’s Tallest Thermometer, one of the most recognizable roadside landmarks in America, is being offered for sale as it enters an exciting new chapter in its celebrated history.

Standing prominently along Interstate 15 in Baker, California, the 134-foot landmark has welcomed millions of travelers from around the world and has become a beloved symbol of the Mojave Desert experience. Known for commemorating the record-setting 134-degree temperature recorded in nearby Death Valley, the towering attraction has remained a treasured destination for visitors, photographers, and road-trip enthusiasts for decades.

For the family, caring for this world-famous monument and its beloved mascot, Buzz, has been a profound honor. However, looking toward the future, we recognize that the time is right to pass the torch to a new champion.

As several of us reach retirement age, we find we can no longer spend the hands-on time here that we would like. While a few of our heirs live locally, they have developed their own busy careers, and others have settled out of state, meaning there is no one in the next generation available to step into daily operations. To ensure the thermometer's long-term preservation and allow it to reach its full potential, we have decided the time is right to find its next visionary owner.

We hope this unique opportunity for new ownership will continue preserving and enhancing this iconic piece of Americana while building on its strong legacy and international recognition. We hope the future owners realize this is one of the most photographed and talked-about attractions on the West Coast, with tremendous tourism visibility and cultural significance.

The World’s Tallest Thermometer has meant so much to so many people over the years, we as a family are deeply proud of its history. We hope the next idealest will share our passion for its unique legacy and has the resources to carry it forward into a bright, innovative new chapter.
