Roxy Ann Peak is a 3,576-foot (1,090 m) tall mountain in the western Cascade Range located at the eastern edge of Medford, Oregon. The peak is approximately 30 million years old and is of volcanic origin. Despite its relatively small topographic prominence of 753 feet (230 m), it rises 2,200 feet (670 m) above Medford and is visible from most of the Rogue Valley. It was named after Roxy Ann Bowen, an early settler of the mountain. Now protected as a city park, the peak is home to several nature trails.
