The highest mountain peak in North America is Denali which used to be called Mt. McKinley. It is 20,310 feet (6,190 m) above sea level. Denali is located in Alaska. The Koyukon people inhabit the area around the mountain. They have referred to the peak as "Denali" for centuries. The name Mt. McKinley was the official name recognized by the United States government from 1917 until 2015. In August 2015, following the 1975 lead of the state of Alaska, the U.S. Department of the Interior announced the change of the official name of the mountain to Denali.
