The numbers at the end are latitude and longitude. You can get these numbers from a GPS app, Google Maps, or OpenStreetMap. For example, here’s that same location on OSM: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/43.1896782/-112.3461974 . You can see the coordinates at the end of the URL.
Bit of a hassle, but you could potentially write a script or bookmarklet to make this easier.
