Mount Oxford is a high mountain summit of the Collegiate Peaks in the Sawatch Range of the Rocky Mountains of North America. The 14,160-foot (4,316 m) fourteener is located in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness of San Isabel National Forest, 14.2 miles (22.9 km) 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 1.2 miles (2.0 km) east by north of the slightly higher Mount Belford. For this reason it is often climbed in combination with Mount Belford.[6]
