Geikie Peak is a 5,005-foot summit in the Grand Canyon of northern Arizona, about nine miles northwest of Grand Canyon Village, notable for rising more than 2,600 feet above the Colorado River in only half a mile. Named in 1901 by George Wharton James for British geologist Sir Archibald Geikie and officially given its present name in 1908, it reflects both the canyon’s naming history and its geology. Its layers include Redwall Limestone, a small cap of Supai Group rocks, the underlying Tonto Group, and the older Vishnu Basement Rocks at river level. At the end of its east spur stands Scylla Butte, first climbed in 1978.
