This spreading bush with attractive leaves and whitish-pinkish flowers is wax currant (Ribes cereum), a member of the Goosefoot Family (Grossulariaceae). Later in the season, small berries appear that can be used to make jelly. Generally this bush grows from 6,000-9,000 feet in our area, but I found it next to a lake at 10,230 feet.
Here you can see the fan-shaped leaves and the flowers in clusters.
