One of the Seven Summits. Denali (
/dɪˈnɑːli/)
[5][6] (also known as
Mount McKinley, its former official name)
[7] is the
highest mountain peak in
North America, with a summit
elevation of 20,310 feet (6,190 m) above
sea level. With a
topographic prominence of 20,156 feet (6,144 m) and a
topographic isolation of 4,629 miles (7,450 km), Denali is the
third most prominent and
third most isolated peak on Earth, after
Mount Everest and
Aconcagua. Located in the
Alaska Range in the interior of the
U.S. state of
Alaska, Denali is the centerpiece of
Denali National Park and Preserve.
The
Koyukon people who inhabit the area around the mountain have referred to the peak as "Denali" for centuries. In 1896, a gold prospector named it "Mount McKinley" in support of then-presidential candidate
William McKinley; that name was the official name recognized by the
Federal government of the United States from 1917 until 2015. In August 2015, following the 1975 lead of the State of Alaska, the
United States Department of the Interior announced the change of the
official name of the mountain to Denali.
[8][9]
In 1903,
James Wickersham recorded the first attempt at climbing Denali, which was unsuccessful. In 1906,
Frederick Cook claimed the
first ascent, which was later proven to be false. The first verifiable ascent to Denali's summit was achieved on June 7, 1913, by climbers
Hudson Stuck,
Harry Karstens,
Walter Harper, and
Robert Tatum, who went by the South Summit. In 1951,
Bradford Washburn pioneered the West Buttress route, considered to be the safest and easiest route, and therefore the most popular currently in use.

On September 2, 2015, the
U.S. Geological Survey announced that the mountain is 20,310 feet (6,190 m) high,
[1] not 20,320 feet (6,194 m), as measured in 1952 using
photogrammetry.
