You may need a timed entry permit depending on when they cut off for the season. You need to order that online ahead of time. Check out their official website. There are certain times when you don't need a timed passed such as after 2 pm. Double check the hours. If you don' t have an annual natl park pass or a military park pass, you'll need to pay the park entry fee as well. You can do that at the entry station in the park.

I don't know! I believe those are 2 separate issues and talking to someone at RMNP about that issue would be wise. Very soon, those timed entry requirements go away, and I can't imagine that issue was not raised when you got the hiking shuttle reservation. I do know that group tours of the park do not require an individual timed reservation. The timed entry is handled by the tour vendor.
