Officials are warning the public not to hike the park's lower elevation trails as temperatures have exceeded 110 degrees every day this month.
A 71-year-old man died earlier this week as the temperature climbed to 121 degrees Fahrenheit in Death Valley, the National Park Service said.
After his death, Curry's wife told the Los Angeles Times that he had been talking about visiting Death Valley despite warnings from his wife about the dangerous heat. The National Park Service confirmed he was photographed slathered in sunscreen, huddled beneath a sign that provided a small amount of shade.
