Mount McKinley, known simply as ‘Denali,’ Is this PC or is there some other element in the two names?
Just asking.

Mt McKinley is still Mt Mckinley, the Park name was changed (after much fussing from folks who actually live here in Alaska) to Denali Park.
Locals all refer to the mountain as Denali. A Native word that (roughly) trnaslates to “the big one” or “the great one”
I can see it from my back porch here in Anchorage - can’t see Russia tho....
