Mount Denali
Located in south-central Alaska, Mount Denali, formerly known as Mount McKinley, is the tallest peak in North America. Denali ranks as the third-highest among the Seven Summits, the tallest mountains on each continent, reaching a staggering height of 20,310 ft (6,190 m) above sea level. The mount was named by gold prospector William Dickey in 1896 after President William McKinley; Denali's title reflects McKinley's advocacy for the gold standard.
To truly grasp the expanse of this majestic landscape, one must overcome any fear of heights, board a small single-propeller airplane, and marvel at the view below. Alternatively, visitors with a rental car can embark on a scenic drive along Highway No. 3 (Parks Highway), the main route connecting Anchorage and Fairbanks through the Denali reserve.
