How water proof are these boots. I will be backpacking in the Colorado Mountians, will they hold up to stream crossings and keep my feet dry?

They are made of waterproof fabric. That being said, your feet will inevitably get wet. between the stitchings, going over the boat, and in hot conditions, just sweat build up -- you can't stop the wetness from happening. If you are fording large rivers that goes above the middle of the tongue, your best bet would be to find a pair of quick drying socks and carry news paper to dry out the inside of your boots. The other options (the one I used when fording rivers along the Appalachian Trail in Maine) is to take the extra minute to stop and change into crocs. If the streams are really small and wont go up high, then you won't have too much to worry about, your feet will stay pretty dry.

GTX translates to Gore-Tex waterproof awesomeness. All encompassing dry feet.
