It is a globeflower. I am happy to see you are spending time in a few of my favorite places. Cheers.

You are right. Globeflower was wrong. It is a Primrose.

	Voted 10/10	Sarah, You are correct it is a Primrose. It's leaves are kind of distinctive. I was wrong with the Globeflower identification. Thanks. Jon

Thanks, Jon. I'm always amazed at alpine wild flowers growing where, at first glance, there seems to be no water or nutrients. My husband and I own a cabin on 2 acres not far from the Tarryall Reservoir, so these are our weekend stomping grounds. We find great peace in this area.

Stark contrast.

Voted 10/10

Reminds me of flowers in Death Valley. The delicate beauty growing out of rugged desolation.
