NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERV 10
.r:~l OLD NAME Be NEW HEIGHT
The name of Denali was recently changed back from "Mount McKinley." The name "Denali" was the original Athabascan name for the mountain and translates to "The High One." The mountain was renamed Mt. McKinley by an early gold miner, but many Alaskans always called it Denali. Recent- ly, new equipment allowed for a better measure- ment of the summit, which was previously based on geometry calculations. On maps, the moun- tain technically shrank ten feet, from 20,320 feet to 20,310 feet. However, Denali's height is still 700 feet taller than the second highest mountain in North America, which is Mt. Logan , in Canada.
