Bijou Bottom Strip is a privately owned, non-towered airfield in Kiowa, Colorado, identified as 9CO8. The field is served by two runways: the longest is 15/33 at 2,400 by 40 feet of turf, and the field also has Runway 10/28 at 1,400 by 40 feet of turf.
No instrument approach procedures are published, so the field is used under visual flight rules. As a non-towered field, it operates under see-and-avoid procedures, with pilots coordinating their own arrivals and departures. There is no fuel service on record here. Its private-use designation means pilots need the owner's permission before landing.
The airport sits at 6,000 feet above mean sea level. Given the field elevation, pilots should watch density altitude on hot days.
