Abies lasiocarpa
Short-blunt ended needles. Growing at elevation (6200ft) near to treeline. Needles growing all around branches but tending to grow upwards, didn't seem to have a woody base.
I'm inclined to think this is a fir rather than a spruce species, and given the elevation and location Sub-alpine Fir is seeming most likely
Hi Ryan, could you help me understand how you were able to tell? I'm struggling a little with identifying the key field marks here
