North America’s tallest peak, located in Alaska, has been a point of contention following President Donald Trump's executive order to revert its name to Mount McKinley. The peak, standing at 20,310 feet, is commonly known as Denali, its Alaska Native name, by locals and many Alaskans.
The mountain was initially named after President William McKinley in 1896, despite its original Athabascan tribal name, Denali, meaning 'the high one.' The name was officially changed back to Denali in 2015 by President Barack Obama as a symbolic gesture to Alaska Natives.
