Mount Oxford, Mountain peak in Chaffee County, Colorado.
Mount Oxford rises to 4,314 meters within the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness of San Isabel National Forest in the Sawatch Range of the Rocky Mountains.
The mountain received its name during the early exploration period of Colorado's peaks, reflecting a connection to the University of Oxford in England.
Mount Oxford forms part of the Collegiate Peaks group, where mountains carry names of prestigious educational institutions including Harvard, Yale, and Princeton.
Hikers reach the summit through an 11-mile round trip from Missouri Gulch Trailhead, gaining elevation through steep sections and connecting ridges.
The mountain connects to Mount Belford via a saddle trail, allowing mountaineers to complete two fourteener summits during a single expedition.
