There are many dandelion-like plants blooming right now. Many are in the genus
Crepis. These aren't the easiest to tell apart, but I believe that this one is Modoc hawksbeard (
Crepis modocensis). (As always, if you know I've misidentified something, please leave a comment!) It grows at mid-elevations in western North America.
The leaves and stems are hairy. The stem has little bristles coming off of it, which isn't well-captured in this photo.
In the photo below, you can see the bristles well on the buds.
