| Climbed in a fog bank. No views. These two mountains are endless and the trail was a steep one | |

| cftbq | Missouri Basin and Missouri Gulch Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2001 | |
| This was a repeat climb, as Belford was my 6th 14er, back in 1976. That time, I came in from the south to Elkhead Pass. This time I hiked up Missouri Gulch with my wife and daughter. After camping overnight, Belford made their 5th and 2nd 14ers, respectively. Had to run down to escape the rain coming in at midday, but mild weather overall. | |

| Had planned on climbing Oxford, but due to pouring rain and very low visibility we settled for only bagging Belford. | |

| Did Belford and Oxford in one day. A long hike, but the weather held and the views were spectacular. I suppose I'll have to revisit the valley to tackle Missouri later! | |

| kylerlott | Missouri - Belford - Oxford Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2006 | |
| Did all three in one long day. Started at 3:40am and finished around 2pm. Did Missouri first then Belford and Oxford. For the stats sounding so huge, it really wan't to bad. Personally the switchbacks at the start of the trail were the toughest part up and down. Weather held up for most the day. On Belford we followed the ElkHead pass trail to save a little elevation and then cut over too the southwest ridge on Belford. Beautiful area, definately looks worth staying a couple days up in the gulch. | |

So, we round tripped in and out of Pine Creek Basin. Gourgous. Dirk got sick after we hit the 3K feet gain in under an hour! Take that Roach ah! | |

| Gahugafuga | Tried for Oxford Date Climbed: Sep 14, 2005 | |
| Made the Belford summit in horrendous winds, strong enough to knock me off my feet. Got about 100 yds down the connecting ridge to Oxford before I realized that it wasn't happening. Hopefully Oxford will still be there next time I go back. | |

| A great hike to knock off 2 14ers. During the descent we passed a guy in real trouble - he hadn't brought enough water or food for the hike. Fortunately most of us had more than we needed and saved his bacon! | |

| Nice hike, good trail and excellent weather to do these two gentle giants. Three hours to Belford and 50 min, to the top of Oxford. Great views all around. | |
