Mount Belford  14,197 feet

Belford's lofty, rounded mass sits stately between its lower companions Oxford and Missouri.  There is a trail most of the way up Belford, and the peak is one of Colorado's easiest fourteeners.  Like most Sawatch Range fourteeners, Belford requires more than 4,000 feeet of elevation gain, but it's a manageable workout.  (Colorado's Fourteeners From Hikes to Climbs, Gerry Roach)

I climbed Mount Belford on June 19, 1996.  Click on thumbnails to see full size picture.
