📍 Hike to Tumalo Falls

97-foot waterfall in the Bend foothills with the easiest payoff-per-effort ratio in Central Oregon — a 100-yard paved path from the parking lot to the main viewpoint. Longer trails continue past the falls for full-day options.

Good to know

• Sno-park permit required December-March; free rest of year.
• Last 3 miles of the access road are gravel but passenger-car friendly.
• Arrive before 10 AM weekends — lot fills.
