A high temperature of 129 degrees was recorded Saturday and Sunday in Death Valley National Park in eastern California, where a visitor died Saturday from heat exposure and another person was hospitalized, officials said.

Areas across the West are bracing for multiple days of triple-digit temperatures this week.

The two visitors were part of a group of six motorcyclists riding through the Badwater Basin area amid scorching weather, the park said in a statement.
