Wyethia spp. Often called "sunflowers" locally, and per Wikipedia they're indeed related. A common flower in Northern Nevada, they pretty much like the same conditions the sagebrush does, maybe a tad wetter. They can add quite a splash of yellow to a meadow! The name comes from the broad tapered leaves. The gray-green fronds in the background are sagebrush.
