Many Alaskans say they’ll never stop calling the mountain Denali. That name respects the Indigenous people who’ve lived in its shadows for thousands of years. But Ohioans think McKinley “was a great president.

The 47th president is wading back into a century-long dispute over the name we give to North America’s tallest mountain

Conrad Anker, Jon Krakauer, Melissa Arnot Reid, and other prominent climbers and guides share their thoughts on the president’s decision to rename North America’s highest mountain

The president made the name change through one of dozens of executive orders he signed on Monday. Former President Barack Obama’s administration ordered that the mountain be renamed as Denali in 2015.

The tallest peak in North America has been named Denali since 2015 when its name was officially changed under former President Barack Obama.

As part of a torrent of decisions he issued hours after taking office, President Donald Trump declared that the name of America’s tallest mountain be changed from Denali to Mount McKinley, and that the Gulf of Mexico be renamed “The Gulf of America.”

The man after whom Trump wants to rename North America's highest peak had no connection to Alaska or Denali. So what is the story? Trump thinks he "deserves" it.

Alaskans say they will never stop calling the peak Denali despite President Trump’s executive order that the name revert to Mt. McKinley.
