It’s still Mount McKinley.

Who cares what some bureaucrats say? They also say Pluto isn’t a planet!

Much as Cape Canaveral is and was never Cape Kennedy. The land mass. The base is still Kennedy Space Station, as apropos.

Canaveralis, the Spanish name for the land mass.

Denali— is the name of the entire mtn. range that includes McKinley— so the range is far more important than one mtn.

SOB comes to AK to name something that is in their own state. Typical. And typical of Murkowski— not known for her “native american” friendliness unless there are oil rights.

Go to Alaska and it's Denali, and always has been Denali. They've never accepted Mt. McKinley and have been trying to get it changed for over 50 years.
