Temperatures at Zion National Park have been hitting the triple digits consistently over recent weeks, and it doesn't look like the heat will be breaking any time soon, so Park Rangers decided to carry out an experiment and try baking a sheet of cookies on the dashboard of a parked car.
The Rangers weren't able to determine the exact temperature inside the car because their thermometer melted and broke, but it could have become as hot as 200°F in the sun. After three hours, the cookies were deemed done. In fact, they were slightly overcooked and a little on the crunchy side.
