This cute little yellow-flowered plant is Ross' avens (Geum rossii var. turbinatum), part of the Rose Family (Rosaceae). It looks somewhat similar to cinquefoil, but the leaves are more divided. Another distinguishing characteristic are the relatively long styles. It grows in sub-alpine and alpine areas throughout the western U.S.
Occasionally the plants grow singly, but often they grow in big groups.
