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.

Lee and Karen
Duquette went on a rafting tour in the Grand Canyon
Lee Duquette 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.

Karen and Lee posed for
photos and showed off their tans |
 |
Below: Lee went around the corner of the
big boulders and climbed a bit 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 us climbed
up here the hard way, the tour guides strung a rope to help the rest
of us get down around the corner as shown below. |
|
|
 The
water was very very icy cold, but Lee and Karen Duquette braved the
waterfall anyway.

Karen Duquette is not sure when the below photos were
taken, nor of exactly where they were. Although Karen and Lee both have
the same bathing suits on. Lee's hair color changed from black to slightly
gray. |

Karen Duquette sat in the
icy cold water under the waterfall. She glowed with happiness. |
