True, and I can't claim the expertise to be certain. But the plants in the image have some fully lanceolate leaves, and there is a second cluster of flowers below and "remote" from the main cluster. I think they are P. confertus. Cream/white P. procerus are also found in MRNP.
I think so, to. These posts on Penstemon made me go back and look at my own images recently of what I thought to be P. confertus at Mt. Rainier. On the basis of the leaves I could not be certain, but on the basis of the calyces it was more obvious. I found the best information on this at: EfloraBC - under the species page, you can bring up and expand line drawings On the basis of the "ruggedness" of the calyx lobes your image probably, and mine certainly are P. confertus.

Yeah, I also suspect that recent photo is P. confertus. Just saying that the existence of white procerus means you have to look closely.

Bittersweet nightshade, I think. Don't eat it.

I've seen this flower on two spring trips to Roslyn Slickrock located in the upper West Fork Teanaway between Dingbat and Sandstone creeks. Many of them were growing in thin soil on the surface of a large sandstone rock formation. The "Picture This" app identified it as Saffron crocus, and it does look like that except it's missing the red saffron part of the flower. I'm sorry the photo is a little out of focus -- it's the best one I got.
Compare to Crocus sativus. You can see why the app probably got it wrong.

Looks like a grass widow. An early bloomer east of the crest.

Thanks -- that's got to be it. Looks the same and the habitat matches. Olsynium douglasii "A grass-like perennial with flattened and clumped stems which grows in coastal bluffs, prairies, grasslands, sagebrush flats, open rocky areas, oak and ponderosa pine woodlands, and sagebrush and juniper desert which are wet in the early spring."

Yes. Common in the Umtanum and south and west to the area east of Chinook Pass.

Well, Toni, the image doesn't present a lot of detail, but there are only a couple of possibilities - not B. sagitatta - in that area. Check the species and compare to the maps at the WTU image collection https://biology.burke.washington.edu/herbarium/imagecollection/browse.php?Classification=Vascular%20Plants&BrowseBy=Species&OrderBy=SciName&BeginsWith=B#Balsamorhiza

Thanks again gb! This link is very informative, leaning towards Carey's Balsamroot. Different stages of bloom makes it challenging, mentions found around Steamboat Rock.
