Guests come to the C Lazy U Ranch for its natural beauty, clean mountain air, recreation, and relaxation. To ensure that these elements will be here today and live into the future for all to enjoy, the C Lazy U Ranch is committed to the protection, conservation and preservation of the environment that surrounds the ranch. We have implemented numerous programs to conserve our natural resources:
Use of Timber
The Pine Beetle has devastated tens of thousands of acres of Lodge Pole Pine across Colorado. The ranch has also been affected by this epidemic and has proactively logged thousands of acres to increase re-vegetation and mitigate our exposure to forest fire. We use lumber from the beetle kill to accomplish all of our construction projects. Wood used for cabin remodels, the spa, the Outfitter’s Cabin, and numerous other projects came from dead trees harvested right here at the C Lazy U.
Spring Water
The entire water supply for the ranch is provided by a series of natural springs that flow from Mount Baldy. This includes water in our pool and hot tub. This also means that the water from the tap is about as clean and fresh as one can find. We provide each guest with a reusable water bottle, which eliminates the disposal of an estimated 10,000 one-time use water bottles.
Ecofriendly Housekeeping
To ensure we are conserving water and energy, the ranch offers guests the opportunity to opt out of daily cleaning of towels. If towels are on the floor or in the bathtub we will wash them, but towels hanging on the rack are refolded and left for reuse.
