My folks just returned from an exciting trip out west and they saw this plant growing at Douglas Creek in Medicine Bow National Forest, Wyoming.
Thanks in advance for your help

Uhm Dandelion?
Really, seriously...
Mungo, it is some kind of spiky thistle thing. I can't tell from the photo either....thanks....
Could it be prickly lettuce?
We have it also. Not sure what it is for sure. Looks a lot like dandylion, but might be milkweed. Guess I ain't much help.
Glad to hear it sounds like they had a wonderful time! No idea about the plant. I have something dropping tiny blue berries (not blueberries), any idea?
Mungo, it could be, I will check it out. thanks
JB, thanks for taking a stab at it. I certainly have no idea
Teri, unless they are wild grapes I have no idea. Sorry about that. The birds drag them all over the place here and make an incredible mess with them...then all the seeds sprout into nasty little grape vines. Same with choke cherries only they leave behind a purple mess.....arrggghhh
It looks like the Thistle plants that we have here in Florida. Maybe a relative of that.
Looks like a big ol' fat thistle if I were to compare it to the things that have whacked my calves this summer. Does that awful thing have long spikes with what looks like a porcupine at the end?
Dani, could be...thanks
Steve, spiky indeed, dad is going to contact the ranger at the park and see if he can tell him what it is called.
