The Original Trip Report on ADVENTR.CO (http://adventr.co/2011/10/straddling-the-border-to-toroweap/)
After an awesome night camping under the stars in perfect weather near Little Black Mountain, we were up early, had a little breakfast and were soon on our way back into Utah. Our ultimate destination for the day would be Toroweap on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, but we would have a lot of exploring to do on our way there.
After entering Utah again, we quickly found ourselves in Warner Valley. As we headed east, we took the short detour to Fort Pearce which is located along the old Honeymoon Trail.

Of course, our first objective at the site was to find the petroglyphs located near the fort. They were easy to find and the area offered a nice view.
