A close neighbor to Mount Belford, this 14,197-foot peak is usually climbed in conjunction with the former, for the simple fact you have to climb to 13,900 feet on Belford just to reach the ridge leading to Oxford. It’s only a 1.5-mile traverse to the summit of Oxford that includes a drop and then a gain of 600 feet. Just try not to think about how you’ll have to re-climb Belford to get back to your car or campsite.

Pro Tips

Take stock of the weather and your energy level on top of Belford before proceeding because there is no bailout spot once you’ve set off on the ridge. You’ll find plenty of camping (and company) on Chaffee County Road 390, a very popular area in the summer due to its numerous 14er access points. Other than the initial switchbacks on the Missouri Gulch Trail, re-climbing Belford is the most difficult part of this trip. Try to keep a sense of humor. Recommended season(s): Summer to early fall
