Feature Name: Denali
Category: Alaska physical, cultural and historic features
Feature Type: Physical
Class: Summit
Description: "Elevation 20,310 ft.; the highest point in North America"
History: "Named in 1896 by William A. Dickey, prospector, ""after William McKinley of Ohio, who had been nominated for the Presidency and that was the first news we received on our way out of that wonderful wilderness."" McKinley, 1854-1901, was the 25th President of the United States. The first mention of the massif was by Captain George Vancouver, who when seeing it from Cook Inlet in 1794, referred to the ""stupendous snow mountains."" The Russians descriptively called it ""Bolshaya (Bulshaia) Gora"" or ""big mountain."" Alfred Mayo and Arthur Harper, pioneer Alaska traders, after a trip up the Tanana River in 1878, reported, ""a great ice mountain to the south,"" but did not name it. A prospector, Frank Densmore, spoke so enthusiastically after seeing the mountain from Lake Minchumina in 1889, that it was known for years among prospectors as ""Densmores Peak."" The north summit was first reached on April 3, 1913, by Archdeacon Hudson Stuck, Walter Harper, Robert Tatum, and Harry Karstens (later park superintendent). On August 28, 2015, the name Mount McKinley was changed by Secretarial Order No. 3337 to Denali, the name that had been official in the State of Alaska since 1976."
