The Alaska House voted 28-10 to adopt a resolution signaling their opposition to changing the name of North America’s tallest peak.

The Alaska House has voted to urge President Donald Trump to reverse course and retain the name of North America’s tallest peak as Denali.

The U.S. president's move last week to rename North America's tallest peak has introduced 'a jarring note' into Alaska affairs, says one academic.

The House resolution, sponsored by Rep. Maxine Dibert, D-Fairbanks, says the name Denali is “deeply ingrained in the state’s culture and identity” and urges Trump to maintain Denali as the peak’s official name in federal databases.

The state Senate is expected to quickly agree with the House's request to keep the name as Denali, which would send it to Washington, D.C.

Republicans in the Alaska House tried Monday to change a resolution objecting to the renaming of Denali to Mount McKinley into a lengthy list of lavish praise for President Donald Trump, who issued the executive order making the change on his first day back in office a week ago,

JUNEAU — Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy said Wednesday that he would seek out a conversation with President Donald Trump about his decision to rename Denali, the tallest mountain in the U.S. Trump ordered on Monday to change the name of the peak to Mount McKinley.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - An avalanche has blocked mile 219 of the Parks Highway near Denali National Park, resulting in a full highway closure.

The National Weather Service (NWS) issued several winter weather alerts for Alaska, with some areas expected to get up to 20 inches of snow while parts of the state are experiencing unusually warm temperatures. Alaska, known for its extremely cold and snowy climate, has experienced some rare warm weather this month.

Dunleavy offered no opinion on Trump's decision to rename Denali as Mount McKinley, saying he wanted to speak with the president before sharing his own view.

In a 28 to 10 vote, a resolution urging President Donald Trump to maintain Denali as the official name for the tallest mountain in North America passed the house on Monday during the first session of the 34th Legislature.

Alaskans are responding after President Donald Trump changed the name of North America's tallest peak from Denali back to Mount McKinley.
