Alpine Daisy-Erigeron compositus

It's easy to see at first glance that this is a member of the Sunflower Family (Asteraceae) and that it is most likely an Erigeron. A look at the leaves, with their highly divided nature, and the location, above 10,000 feet, makes it easy to narrow this down to alpine daisy (Erigeron compositus). This species often finds little outcroppings in the rock as home.
