    Description

    Caution: Extremely difficult airstrip requiring the right airplane and ninja like flying chops.

    Simonds is a very difficult airstrip located on Monumental Creek, 10 upstream from where it joins up with Big Creek.  The strip is used frequently for guided hunting trips.  There is a private airstrip (Monumental Ranch) upstream a few miles, so keep an eye open for traffic.
