“A small glacial lake at the foot of Garnet Canyon, with the Grand Teton standing straight above it. The Bradley Lake loop runs about five miles from the Taggart Lake trailhead, climbing through lodgepole pine to a moraine that holds the water. On still mornings the reflection comes clean, and the mountain doubles in the lake before the wind picks up. The trail is quiet most mornings before nine. from the studio

— about Bradley Lake with the Grand

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.

— the place

Bradley Lake sits at about 7,022 feet on the east side of the Teton Range, dammed by a terminal moraine left by the glacier that carved Garnet Canyon. The lake lies directly below the Grand Teton, which rises to 13,775 feet about two miles to the west. The trailhead is at Taggart Lake on the Teton Park Road, north of Moose, Wyoming, inside Grand Teton National Park. The standard Taggart–Bradley loop runs roughly 5.9 miles with about 600 feet of climb.

— informed by Wikipedia — Bradley Lake, NPS — Grand Teton Hiking

— the water

Bradley is fed by Garnet Creek out of Garnet Canyon and drains east into Cottonwood Creek and ultimately the Snake River. The water reads dark green most of the year and turns a colder grey-blue in late spring when snowmelt is highest. The lake holds cutthroat trout but most anglers fish Taggart, the lower lake on the same loop. The Grand Teton reflection is clearest on calm mornings before the canyon wind comes down through Garnet around mid-day.

— informed by USGS — Snake River Headwaters

— the visit

The Taggart Lake trailhead opens year-round and has the largest parking lot on the south end of the park. Most hikers do the Taggart–Bradley loop counter-clockwise, hitting Taggart first and Bradley second. Grizzly bears use the lower forest in summer; bear spray is recommended and group hiking is encouraged. The trail is usually snow-free from late May through October. In winter the road remains plowed to Bradley-Taggart Junction and the loop becomes a quiet ski tour.

A few questions we get about Bradley Lake with the Grand — and about bringing the piece home.

— about the place

Bradley Lake sits at the foot of Garnet Canyon in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. It is reached from the Taggart Lake trailhead on the Teton Park Road, north of Moose.

The standard Taggart–Bradley loop is about 5.9 miles with roughly 600 feet of climb. Most parties complete it in three to four hours including a stop at each lake.

The Grand Teton rises to 13,775 feet, about two miles west of Bradley Lake. From the lakeshore the summit stands roughly 6,750 feet overhead in clear air.

Yes. The lower forest along the Taggart–Bradley loop is grizzly habitat. The park recommends bear spray, group hiking, and noise on blind corners.

The loop is usually snow-free from late May through October. In winter the road is plowed to Bradley-Taggart Junction and the loop becomes a popular ski and snowshoe tour.

Bradley holds cutthroat trout, but most anglers fish Taggart, the lower lake on the same loop. A Wyoming fishing license is required and park-specific rules apply.

— about the piece in your home

Yes. The Bradley Lake loop is many Teton hikers' first long walk in the park, and the Grand reflection is a touchstone. A Medium or Large with a handwritten note carries well.

Mountain-modern, alpine-modern, and warm lodge interiors. The cool granite blues of the artwork sit comfortably against oiled walnut, leather, and woven wool.

Yes. Alpine-modern leans on landscape and restrained colour. The tile reads as a quiet focal point against plaster, stone, or warm timber paneling, without crowding the room.

A single Large reads well above a console or narrow sofa. For a sofa wall, a 4-tile or 9-tile Mural carries the proportion of the Grand better and lets the lake breathe.

Yes, in the Dura Satin or Matte finish. Both resist scratching and handle humidity. The colour is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure.

Microfibre and water. The pigment lives in the surface beneath a thin glossy finish, so it will not lift with normal cleaning. No chemical cleaners are needed.

Yes. Wender Studios is a single family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee. The work is hand-finished in-house and not licensed from any outside artist.
