Decorating the lower foothills are bushes with bright yellow flowers. It's too early for rabbitbrush; these bushes are horsebrush (
Tetradymia), also in the Sunflower Family (Asteraceae). We have four species in this area, and from what I can figure out, this one is Nuttall's horsebrush (
Tetradymia nuttalli).
There are short thorns on the plant and it grows below 6,400 feet. It is found in Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado.
