BOOK YOUR STAY MENU AWARDS & ACCOLADES About Devil’s Thumb Ranch Making history since 1938. And we don’t plan to quit any time soon. SUSTAINABILITY AT THE RANCH Preserving History Nestled among the rolling hills and rugged mountains of the Ranch Valley Creek near Winter Park, Colorado, lies Devil’s Thumb Ranch, a historical and anthropological haven of mythology and beauty. Its name can be traced back to a time in American history when bison roamed free and smoke signals were the only method of long-distance communication.

SEE ALL AWARDS Devil’s Thumb Ranch Timeline History of the Devil’s Thumb Name Devil’s Thumb is a rocky outcropping perched above the ranch, high on the Continental Divide. It was given its name by Native Americans, specifically the Ute and Arapahoe tribes, who after feuding for decades, settled their differences and buried the Devil, leaving only his thumb exposed as a perpetual reminder of the evils of war. Beyond this historic geological artifact, the presence of Native Americans can still be felt in the area, specifically in the use of Ute and Arapahoe names throughout Indian Peaks and Rocky Mountain National Park. The town of Tabernash, for example—where the Ranch is located, was named for a Ute chief killed near the town in 1878.
