The move is likely to face some pushback in Alaska, where the Alaska Native name has long been favored for the continent’s tallest mountain.

President Donald Trump announced the name of Alaska’s highest peak, Denali, would be changed back to Mount McKinley.

Among the roughly 200 executive orders President Donald Trump is expected to sign during his first day in office is a declaration to restore the name of the 25th president, William McKinley, to an Alaska mountain.

The tallest peak in North America has been named Denali since 2015 when its name was officially changed under former President Barack Obama.

The president was set to make the name change through one of dozens of executive orders he is expected to sign on Monday. Former President Barack Obama’s administration ordered that the mountain be renamed as Denali in 2015.

During his inaugural address, President Donald Trump suggested he wants to revert the name of North America’s tallest mountain — Alaska’s Denali — to Mount McKinley. Here's why:

For decades, Alaskans and Indigenous groups petitioned for the name to be changed back to Denali. Their efforts faced opposition, particularly from Ohio lawmakers who viewed the name Mount McKinley as a tribute to their state’s native son and 25th U.S. president.

The Alaskan mountain, now known as Mount Denali, will revert back to its previous name Mount McKinley, which was changed by former President Barack Obama. Obama changed the name to Denali in 2015 to reflect the traditions of Alaska Natives as well as the preference of many Alaska residents.
