text:  A visitor to Death Valley National Park died this weekend from heat exposure and another person has been hospitalized. The two were part of a motorcycle group touring the park. Death Valley recorded a high of 128 degrees this weekend, but park ranger Matthew Lamar says it was even hotter a few years ago. In 2021, the National Weather Service station did read 130 degrees. It is still actually considered preliminary, so they're still going through that verification process because it would be a top five all-time temperature.
