Bradley Farm Trail is a moderate out-and-back hike in western Massachusetts, about 1.9 miles from Greylock Estates. The route is roughly 2.3 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 1,029 feet from the low point at 1,666 feet to the high point at 2,100 feet. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.6 miles in, with a grade of 18 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Pittsfield run to highs around 79°F in July, and the station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the higher ground run cooler. The trip takes about 1.5 hours. Rounds Rock Trek starts just 0.1 mile away, and Rounds Rock - Jones Nose Loop is about 2 miles off. Cheshire Reservoir and the Hoosic River are both within about 3.5 miles.
