Bradley Mountain : ウィキペディア英語版
Bradley Mountain

Bradley Mountain, , is a traprock mountain located west of New Britain, Connecticut, United States, in the towns of Southington and Plainville.
It is part of the narrow, linear Metacomet Ridge that extends from Long Island Sound near New Haven, Connecticut, north through the Connecticut River Valley of Massachusetts to the Vermont border. Bradley Mountain, popular as an outdoor recreation destination in the metropolitan Hartford/ New Britain area, is known for its clifftop scenic vistas overlooking Plainville Reservoir, unique microclimate ecosystems, and rare plant communities. Bradley Mountain is traversed by the Metacomet Trail.
==Geography==
Roughly in diameter, Bradley Mountain rises steeply above the Quinnipiac River valley to the west. The mountain consists of an upper ridgeline with several summits and a lower high bluff-line. The Metacomet Ridge continues north from Bradley Mountain as the ridgeline of Pinnacle Rock and south as Ragged Mountain. Plainville Reservoir (also called Crescent Lake) occupies a bowl-shaped valley on the western side of the mountain, and Shuttle Meadow Reservoir stands between Bradley Mountain and Ragged Mountain to the south. The lower bluff-line is occupied by suburban development. A diameter traprock quarry, owned by Tilcon, has obliterated the northeast side of Bradley Mountain below the summit.
The Quinnipiac River, not much more than a brook this far north, passes west through the gap between Bradley Mountain and Pinnacle Rock, forming the north and west and drainage of the mountain, before flowing into Long Island Sound. The east and south sides of the mountain drain into the Mattabesett River, then to the Connecticut River, thence to Long Island Sound.
