Pictured Wildflower: Alpine Yarrow
Achillea alpicola
Wildflower Field notes: Alpine Yarrow looks very similar to common Yarrow found at lower elevations. The main difference is that Alpine Yarrow is much shorter and its leaves look more fern like. 

Look for Alpine Yarrow in sunny areas at or above tree line, in meadows, clearings, and along roadsides.
