Denali

Just read that the President is officially changing the name of Mt. McKinley in Alaska back to its original name, Denali, The Great One. At 20,320ft., it's the highest mountain in North America.

Seeing this mountain in person takes your breath away. It's so majestic. Ever since I first saw it, I thought it was deserving of its Indian name.

I lived in Alaska and have been to Denali many times. Some of my family members go to Alaska every few years. We visit the grave of our sister who died there and is in a cemetery in Fairbanks. Although that part of the trip is always sad, we love being in Alaska. There are people who refer to Denali as Mt. McKinley but it's not meant as an offence.

I'm happy to see the change back to Denali.

As an Alaskan I have always said Denali. So glad the rest of you have joined us.

I always referred to it as Denali.

What a lovely thing!

I know locals always referred to the mt. as Denali, but I like that the "official" name has returned.

I must admit when I read the headline about the change I was afraid it might end up being mt. Kardashian or worse.

we have a closed covered over landfill near here, we call it Mt. Trashmore, maybe Mt. Kartrashion would be better.
