Under Construction
From Aurora:
Here is a good site for most of the flowers you see in the High Sierras.

The pink is Mountain Pride, a pink penstemon.

Here is the arnica site to look at

There are several types of Arnica. I was told that what we saw was
heart leaf arnica, but I can't find the exact site for that.
One of your photos was phlox.

The yellow one with the long leaves is a Wooly Mules Ear. A good description is found here:

I thought they were Lambs Ears since they were shorter and more gray in
color. I was told a few years ago that they were anyway. However, after
searching, it looks more like the mules ears. Here is the site for WoolyLambs Ears.

This is a great site for wildflowers:
