Tumbledown is only about 90 minutes away in Weld. Here's a map. There are many easy hike options, and a beautiful high mountain pond with lots of open ledges for swimming and sunning. Plenty of trails to do anything from a short up-and-back to a long loop.

When/if you can swing slightly longer trips, you're in a great position for a straight 2-hour shot up to the Carabassett Valley, where Sugarloaf ski area is. There are some gorgeous hikes up there, such as the Bigelows. You're also not too far from either Baxter or Acadia, also wonderful options, but neither of which is suitable for just a day trip. Places to keep in mind for the future
