2 Answers. , I went nude hiking in Darwin Falls and Golden Canyon in Death Valley. The highest recognized official temperature is 134 degrees fahrenheit in 1913, as the other answer said. However, in 2012 a meteorologist visiting Badwater Basin recorded a temperature of 135.5 degrees fahrenheit.
In the ocean, pink salmon feed on plankton, other smaller fish, squid, and the occasional aquatic insect. The tiny marine crustaceans pink salmon eat are what give their flesh its pink color. As with all members of the salmon family, when they return to freshwater to spawn, they stop eating.
Pink salmon generally spawn in small rivers near the coast, and in estuaries near the mouths of rivers. Most pink salmon do not travel farther than 40 miles up a river to spawn. However, in Alaska they have been known to go greater distances in larger river systems, such as the Yukon, Kuskokwim and Nushagak.
