If anyone can help me identify these wildflowers I'd be very thankful. There are so many various types that we've never even seen before. But hiking in Yellowstone right now is intoxicating between the smells and colors displayed along the meadows and hillsides

Seen along the Fairy Falls Trail, I think? Cant even remember anymore we've been on so many hikes in the last few days :D

Heading towards West Yellowstone from Bozeman right now, you pass these fields of wildflowers that are amazing. We pulled over and walked out into the middle of them for this shot. Just sitting in the warm afternoon sun taking in the scenic vistas is enough to make you wonder if you've died and gone to heaven!
