It appears to be a Brewer's Lupine (Lupinus Breweri), see the description here. Clearly a lupin flower, but curious in that it forms a low, prostrate spreading mat of foliage, and silvery-looking due to the hairy surface of the leaves.

  • Not sure it is a Lupinus. Here (Europe) we have many similar looking Fabaceae on alpine level. (whiteish leaves, and prostrate: common mountain traits). In any case I will not guess about genus and species of US mountain species.
