Siegfried Pyre is a 7,922-foot (2,415 m)-elevation summit located in the eastern Grand Canyon, in Coconino County of northern Arizona, United States. It is situated adjacent to the eastern North Rim, specifically, to the east face of the Walhalla Plateau. It is southeast of Atoko Point and northeast of Naji Point. One of its nearest neighbors is Mount Hayden, as well as Brady Peak.
Because the peak is close to the east face of the Walhalla Plateau, it happens to be at the headwaters of three drainages to the Colorado River, the Kwagunt Creek, north-then-east, the Lava Creek drainage, south-then-east, and the Chuar Creek drainage, southeast-then-east.
