Denali
Denali is a local [|Koyukon Athabascan] name for the mountain, which is the highest in North America,

In the book “[|Shem Pete’s Alaska]” linguist James Keri of the Alaska Native Language Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks wrote: “The name Denali is derived from the Koyukon name. This name does not mean 'The Great One,' as is commonly believed, but is instead based on a verb theme meaning 'high' or 'tall.'"

Denali was the first national park established to conserve wildlife in 1917.
