Chinese Peak (Idaho)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Chinese Peak is a summit in Bannock County, Idaho, in the United States. With an elevation of 6,791 feet (2,070 m), Chinese Peak is the 1069th highest summit in the state of Idaho.[1]
Formerly called Chinks Peak, the summit was named for a Chinaman who died climbing it in the 1890s.[2] Following controversy over the use of ethnic slur "chink", the name was officially changed by the Geographic Names Information System in 2001.[3]
