Summer 2026 Kick-Off

We can hardly believe it’s that time of year again!

As we dig out from a beautiful 31-inch spring snowstorm and swap snow boots for sunscreen, preparations are officially underway at Seven Keys Lodge. With temperatures expected to climb into the 70s next week, summer in the mountains is starting to feel very real.

We have a lot of exciting things on the horizon for the 2026 season and wanted to share a few updates so you can start planning for a memorable summer at Seven Keys Lodge.

In a first for us, we’re kicking off the season early, May 22-23, 2026 with LIVE music — and we couldn’t be more excited. We’re thrilled to welcome the entire Powell family to the lodge for a special weekend of music, storytelling, and mountain memories.

Mark will be joined by his dad, Bishop, his brother John, our nephew Luke, and our daughter Ella. Together, these five know how to put on a show, and it will be such a treat to hear them celebrate a lifetime of pickin’ and grinnin’ together in the Rockies.
