Square Feet: 120,000 Combined

Upon its completion, the Devil’s Thumb Ranch & Lodge will be the largest geothermal project in Colorado. The facility utilizes all three types of geothermal loop fields. The owner of the Devil’s Thumb resort not only values saving money, but he also understands the importance of protecting our environment. Horizontal trench loops provide heating & cooling for all 10 cabins (each cabin is 1,000 to 2,000 square ft.). A pond loop provides the heating, cooling, and hot water for the 30,000 square ft. activity center. The pond loop also provides heat for the pool and Jacuzzi as well as for snow melt. The lodge uses a vertical bore field comprised of 160- 300ft vertical wells. The vertical bore field is used to heat and cool all 52 rooms in the 40,000 square ft. facility.

In the future, the resort plans to open an indoor pool and spa that will also be heated & cooled with a geothermal exchange system.
