While the parks on the list span the country, the 10 hottest parks, where average summer temperatures can reach over 110 degrees Fahrenheit, are in just five states.
This summer there have been several heat-related deaths and injuries in national parks, making awareness of temperature crucial for travelers planning visits during peak summer months.
To determine the hottest national parks, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed census tract level data on land surface temperature from the USGS Landsat program, ensuring data accuracy.
The hottest, not surprisingly is the aptly named Death Valley National Park, where temperatures reach 123.7 F, making it an extreme destination during the summer.
