Mount Oxford is a high mountain summit of the Collegiate Peaks in the Sawatch Range of the Rocky Mountains of North America. The 14160feet fourteener is located in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness of San Isabel National Forest, 22.9km (14.2miles) northwest (bearing 311°) of the Town of Buena Vista in Chaffee County, Colorado, United States. The mountain was named in honor of the University of Oxford.[1] [2] [3] [4]
Mount Oxford lies 2km (01miles) east by north of the slightly higher Mount Belford. For this reason it is often climbed in combination with Mount Belford.[6]
