Baker lies along Interstate 15 in California’s Mojave Desert, amid broad dry basins, volcanic ranges and long-distance desert highways. This small San Bernardino County community is a familiar stop on the route between Southern California and Las Vegas, with services shaped by constant road traffic. Its 134-foot World’s Tallest Thermometer, erected to commemorate the 134°F temperature recorded in Death Valley in 1913, is Baker’s defining roadside landmark. The town is also close to Mojave National Preserve, a vast protected area of lava fields, dunes and Joshua-tree woodland.
