Okay so our trip is May 21-28th so is that late enough where waterproof shoes are not necessary as often as early spring?

I go through a lot of these type shoes. I have worn too many brands to remember. All have had durability issues. Of them all, I would go:
Keen>Salomon>Merrell

Not really. For RMNP I’d say early May is 100% likelihood of being necessary. Late May is 75-90% likely. Hell the vast majority of my may travel in that park has been in ski boots. As a point of reference, the road the bisects the park won’t open until the 26th.

Hoka, Altra, Brooks, Topo all make great trail runners. And I believe all make a gortex high top version. Find the ones rhat fit you correctly and have fun.

I prefer Altras as they fit my feet right. Topos have a better durability and great traction and I've been wearing them more lately.
