Below: Prickly Saxifrage Saxifraga tricuspidata. This one was growing far above the treeline, in solid rock, near the mountain harebell.

 I believe this is Alpine Alum Root, Alpine Heuchera (Heuchera glabra .) There was a large patch growing near the upper edge of the treeline, about 1500'. The toothed leaves show in the large view. Click for a large view.
