Bradley Lake is another famous lake located within Grand Teton National Park. The lake is in the same area as Taggart Lake and shares the same trail head. Bradley Lake is a little bit further however. Bradley Lake is about 2.5 miles from the trail head. People usually just go to Taggart Lake because it is more easily accessible. People can also do a loop that passes by Bradley Lake.
We hiked to Bradley Lake after had some fun at Taggart Lake. It was just about 1 mile North of Taggart Lake. The hike to Bradley Lake was essentially flat and not much hurdle on the way. We got to Bradley Lake quite early around 8AM in the morning. The surface of Bradley Lake was just as clam as Taggart Lake. It also had beautiful reflection on the lake surface. The water was ice cold of course.
We walked around Bradley Lake and found few people fishing on the far side. They seemed to be here quite early. They had chairs all set up on the side and was just having a relax time on the lake side. The breeze of the wind felt so good too.
As we continued down the hiking trail, we came to this wooden bridge the crosses the lake on the narrow side. This trail continues down and intersects with other trails. Most people don't head down this way since the hiking trail gets more difficult and wonders into the wild.
We were thinking of whether to continue down the trail or not, but was also worried about running into bears since we did not carry bear spray. We then saw 2 people hiking by and continue down the trail. So we decided to follow their foot steps and followed closely behind them.
Bradley Lake was no doubt a beautiful lake. However, we still think Taggart Lake was a much better lake to enjoy.
