<p>Eaton's thistle (Cirsium eatonii), Aster family (Asteraceae).
Near the Lofty Lake, High Uinta, Utah; elevation 3,300 m.
</p>
This place is out of the distribution area of C. murdockii, which occurs in more eastern Uinta. However, the flower head looks quite arachnoid-villous, maybe not so dense as in C. murdockii.
