Bradley Hut

10th Anniversary Celebration! DETAILS

More Bradley Hut Photos

photo courtesy Dick SimpsonThe Josephine Crane Bradley Hut was in the Five Lakes Basin, between the Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley ski resorts, until the Granite Chief Wilderness was established and the hut was removed (1996-98). Starting in 1997, a new hut (using some of the same materials) was constructed in upper Pole Creek about 4 miles away; it was opened for use in late 1998.

The new Bradley Hut accommodates about 15 overnight visitors. Skiing and snowshoeing are possible in the bowls and meadows near the hut and in the Deep Creek drainage to the north. Benson Hut is about 4 miles to the northwest, over a route that requires care because of avalanche hazards and potentially severe weather.

The removal and reconstruction of Bradley Hut was supported by a major grant from Recreational Equipment, Inc., financial contributions from a number of Sierra Club units, and contributions of both labor and money from over 150 individuals.

See the Inauguration Poster created by Joel Brody marking
the completion of the new Bradley Hut.
