Apparently they changed the name AND the height. It is now officially 10 feet shorter than it was previously, at 20,310 feet above sea level

Don't worry, apparently it's rising at 1mm per year. In a mere 3,000 years it'll be back to its old height. Unless of course the ice melts off the top.

Because that's what they call it in alaska, everyone did that I knew the years I was there, Indians and transplants alike.

I keep hearing about this because my name is mckinley and it is the most boring news ever. 'Oh wow they are? How come?' I still dont get why? I thought everyone called it denali anyway.

Maybe the president has stock in GMC.
