Denali rising above the surrounding Alaska Range.

Clue explained

Denali is the mountain peak whose name comes from Koyukon, an Athabaskan language spoken in Alaska; the name is commonly translated as “the high one.” At 20,310 feet, it is North America’s highest mountain. The federal government officially restored Denali as the mountain’s name in 2015, replacing Mount McKinley, though the Indigenous name had long been used locally.
