King and many others who live in the mountain’s shadow say most Alaskans will never stop calling the peak Denali, its Alaska Native name, despite President Donald Trump’s executive order that the name revert to Mount McKinley -- an identifier inspired by President William McKinley, who was from Ohio and never set foot in Alaska.

Stark County GOP officials enthusiastically back President Donald Trump changing the name of North America's tallest mountain back to Mount McKinley.

Trump's decision is being met with resistance, as many Alaska lawmakers, including its two Republican Senators, have voiced opposition to the change.
