The Park Ranger pointed North, “Two miles up the path you will see the trail branch off up to The Waterfall.  The final mile up you will notice a slight increase in difficulty.”  (Slight increase was more than a slight understatement.)

For a couple of years in my thirties, I lived in a studio apartment on the Upper West Side (UWS) of Manhattan.  Studio is New York for teeny.  It was two hundred and fifty (250) square feet.    You know your walk-in closet?  Yeah,  twice that.
