This showy little plant with the pinnate leaves and small light-blue flowers growing near a creek under some conifers is Jacob's Ladder (Polemonium pulcherrimum). It's a member of the Phlox Family (Polemoniaceae).
The plant can be found up to about 11,000 feet in this area. As the season progresses, it smells more skunk-like, but I didn't notice any odor this early in the season.For more information about Jacob's Ladder, click here.
