Here's a nice one - there were several to quite a few clumps of these within reach of the trail. Wyoming Dave ID'd this as Sticky Geranium - Geranium viscosissimum / Geranium Family - Geraniaceae. The pointy leaves seem to indicate the viscosissimum as opposed to the caespitosum - although I will try to check for stickiness next time I am up that way... UPDATE: However, further analysis indicates the leaf shape is not definitive (nor is the stickiness) and, a few weeks later I found the smaller Sticky Geranium off in the woods off Lava Point. So let's ID this one as Purple Wild Geranium - Geranium caespitosum / Geranium Family - Geraniaceae.

Here's a closeup of the leaves.

And here's the overall plant.

Looks like the flower is about 1-1/4" across.

The plant looks to be about 12" tall.

A pretty little new on on me - Large-flowered Collomia - Collomia grandiflora - Flox family - Polemoniaceae Probably?

Flowers 3/4" across.

Scattered single flowers 10" tall.

Here's a good look at the overall plant.
