Bradley Mtn. is a long, steep out-and-back hike in the Great Bear Wilderness, part of the Hungry Horse Ranger District of Montana's Flathead National Forest. The trail runs about 10.9 miles, rising from a low point of 4,793 feet to a high of 7,224 feet, with an elevation gain of 241 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is natural-surfaced and open year-round. The climb is hard, and the trail is not open to bikes. Horses are allowed. The route is a single out-and-back, so the 241-foot gain is one way. The closest neighbors are Elk Lake, about 1.9 miles away, and Cy Creek, about 2.4 miles away. Long Creek and Vinegar Mtn. are each about 2.7 miles off. For an overnight base, Devil Creek Campground sits about 4.9 miles away.
