Below: Hopi Point located in Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park is the northernmost spot on this part of the south rim, and the first point where much more of the western Grand Canyon comes into full perspective - another 20 miles, since the Colorado begins a big bend northwards, allowing views all the way to Havasupai Point and the Great Scenic Divide. Hopi Point has a fenced viewing area next to the road, and a vista over the canyon centered on Dana Butte, a flat mesa 2,000 feet below the overlook. Because of the wide-ranging, unobstructed views.

Time has NOT changed them any!

Below: Karen and Lee Duquette - Looking west from Hopi Point

Below: Lee and Karen Duquette went on a rafting tour in the Grand Canyon.
Lee Duquette got on the bow of the raft. What a brave soul he was back then. What a nice tan they both had.

Below: Lee Duquette balanced on the bow of the raft as it docked at the waterfall.

Below: Karen and Lee Duquette posed for photos and showed off their tans

Below: Lee Duquette went around the corner of the big boulders and climbed a higher up. After getting inside the dark tunnel (shown in the photo on the left below), there was another waterfall.

Below: After Lee Duquette and the rest of the group climbed up here the hard way, the tour guides strung a rope to help everyone get down around the corner as shown below.

The water was very very very icy cold, but Lee and Karen Duquette braved the waterfall anyway.

Below: Lee Duquette and one of the other rafters splashed each other with the cold waters of the Grand Canyon

Below: Karen Duquette is not sure when the below photos were taken, nor of exactly where they were. And even though Lee Duquette's hair color changed from black to slightly gray, they did not gain any weight and still wore the same bathing suits they had on in the above photos.

Below: Karen Duquette sat in the icy cold water under the waterfall. She glowed with happiness. Lee Duquette did not wish to sit in such cold water. Playing in the cold water as shown above was enough for him, but to just sit ---- no way!
