That feels right and long overdue!

Outstanding.

I think it's fine; the National Park is already named Denali. We could rename Marcy Tahawus; and rename Everest Sagarmatha or Chomolungma. too, if we needed another political "pop" in another month. All fine; the mountain will be the same.

Yay. That is all.

They are renaming it to one Native Group's name. The backlash (from Ohio - McKinley was from Ohio) has already begun....

Should make Alaska happy, they've been pushing for this for years, if I'm not mistaken.

A few years back when I went to Denali National Park, it was referred to as either/or.... or, to a tourist: "DENALI/MCKINLEY"

Didn't matter to me, but, the state should be able to choose what they want to call it!!!! If they want Denali, fine!!!!
