For some, it was a nostalgic nod to history. After all, <a href=\"\/v\/mountain-mount-denali\">Mount McKinley (click here to see our best McKinley tour packages)<\/a>, named for the 25th president of the United States, carried that title for over a century before the change to its Indigenous name, Denali &#8211; a term meaning \u201cThe High One\u201d in the language of the Koyukon Athabaskans. For others, however, the decision seemed like an unnecessary dismissal of Indigenous heritage and the symbolism behind the original name.<\/p>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/best-national-parks-to-visit-in-fall\/\/\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">6 of the Best U.S. National Parks to Visit<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Frame-6-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"girl-sitting-on-a-rock-with-usa-flag\" class=\"wp-image-143268 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;width:670px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Frame-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Frame-6-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Frame-6-434x289.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Frame-6-868x579.jpg 868w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Frame-6.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">American Girl with a Flag @ Aliona Rondeau\/ Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>During his address, Trump expressed his reasoning with characteristic flair: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>We\u2019re making America great again, one landmark at a time. Mount McKinley is a name that represents history, pride, and tremendous patriotism. And the Gulf of America? It\u2019s about time we called it what it truly is.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The announcement follows a series of actions by the president that many see as attempts to reclaim and reframe national identity. Supporters of the decision have lauded it as a move to strengthen American tradition and unity. Critics, however, have pointed out the potential political and cultural ramifications of renaming sites that hold significant meaning for Indigenous communities and international relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gulf of Mexico<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Frame-5-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"clearwater-beach\" class=\"wp-image-143244 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;width:670px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Frame-5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Frame-5-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Frame-5-434x289.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Frame-5-868x579.jpg 868w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Frame-5.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Clearwater, Florida, USA @ John Coletti\/ GettyImages<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/california-vs-florida\/\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Vs Florida: Choosing Between American Beach States<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It remains to be seen how quickly maps, atlases, and signage will reflect these changes<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/dena\/planyourvisit\/fees.htm\"> (the official National Parks Service website still says Denali,<\/a> with an entry fee of $15 per person or $45 per vehicle, for a seven-day pass). Experts suggest the rebranding could have financial ripple effects, as re-singing, marketing and logistical updates might lead to increased operational costs for the park. This could, in turn, impact tourism pricing, potentially making visits less accessible for some travelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, one thing is certain: Trump\u2019s penchant for branding has extended beyond hotels and golf courses and into the very landscape of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what\u2019s next? Renaming the Rockies, perhaps?
