The view, from the top of Observation Peak (9,151'), to the other Sawtooth peaks, offer a great photo op. This summit is gained by an easy but long hike starting from Stanley Lake. Unfortunately, you must purchase a USFS Forest Pass ($5 for three days), and fill out a self-serve wilderness permit at the wilderness boundary, about five miles up the trail.
