The higgest mountain in USA is Denali, in Alaska. This mountain was called Mckinley.
ResponderEliminarDenali means "The Great One". In 1897 a prospector in Alaska named Mt. Mckinley after to be a President William Mckinley of Ohio. The original Mckinley National Park was created in 1917.
It is located in south-central Alaska.
There are a lot of viewpoints to stop and take photos.
Denali is more than a mountain. The visitor center at Denali National Park and Preserve received an award for its environmentally friendly design.
Some of the center features are built with renewable and recycled materials.
I think Obama is not anybody to change a mountain's name.
I have not seen the film, but I have searched some information about it. It is a 1995 British film with a story by Ifor David Monger and Ivor Monger, written and directed by Christopher Monger. The film is set in 1917 (with World War I in the background). Two cartographers arrived at Ffynnon Garw, they are sent by the government to develop the new map of Wales. They named their mountain as a hill.
