Coordinator notes: Bob, these are either pylades or mexicana/nevada as you probably know. The view of the underside really is not good enough for me to confidently call it the latter, so I am going to go with the most likely of the two at the elevation of your marker. also note that the Google mapping program thinks you were in Colfax County, but we both know and your dot shows accurately that we were in Taos County.
