Elk Lake Resort and Marina
60000 Century DrTumalo Falls is a pretty quick and easily accessible attraction while your visiting. I would expect a 20 min. drive and another 20 min. of hiking (20 min. in and 20 min out) depending on how far you want to go. Most of the falls can be seen in the first 5 to 10 min. of the hike.

Sightseeing
A quick and easy stop with a good view is to grab some take out burgers at Dandy's Drive-in and go eat on top of Pilot Butte while taking in the views and hopefully a nice breeze.
