Have you ever wondered why this mountain is so well known and famous? It’s got two names, has been explored by people all over the world and has some of the most fascinating wildlife and landscape in the world. This is a mountain caught between the modern world and that of the Indians  – the Koyukon people who inhabit the area around the mountain and who have referred to the peak as “Denali” for centuries.

Mount McKinley

The Mountain was called “Mount McKinley” in 1896 after the then-presidential candidate William McKinley; the name stuck until it reverted back to Denali in 2015.
