The view from Sourdough gap on the Pacific Crest trail. This is at 6,376 ft and only about a mile from the lake. On clear days it is possible to see Mt. Saint Helens, Mt. Adams, and even Mt Hood. http://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/sourdough-gap
Just 20 minutes outside of Ellensburg, down "Old Durr Road" you enter the Wenas Wildlife Area.
