Mount Bradley is a 9,100+ ft (2,770+ m) mountain summit located in the Alaska Range, in Denali National Park and Preserve, in Alaska, United States. It is situated on the west side of the Ruth Gorge, 13.33 mi (21 km) southeast of Denali and 4.68 mi (8 km) southwest of The Moose's Tooth. Its nearest higher peak is Mount Dickey, 1.41 miles (2.27 km) to the north, Mount Wake lies 1.51 miles (2.43 km) to the south, and London Tower rises 2.55 miles (4.10 km) directly east on the opposite side of The Great Gorge. Despite its relatively low elevation, it is notable for its north face with nearly 5,000 feet of vertical sheer granite. The mountain was named by famed explorer Dr. Frederick Cook for John R. Bradley, a wealthy casino owner from Florida and one of Cook's financial sponsors.^{[2] [3]}
