This arch is located in the south rim area of Grand Canyon
National Park. The arch can be seen when entering Slate
Canyon from the East on the Tonto Trail. This arch is perched
on the top of the ridge continuing SW from Geikie Peak. It is
called Karabiner Arch because it has that shape and looks as if
it has a closed rope gate at the top. Once you get close to Slate
Canyon Creek, you can no longer see the arch, and a hike up
the low ridges to the south will be needed to get another view.
The arch can also be seen from the Agate Canyon side of
Geikie Peak.
