Coiled-beak Lousewort (Pedicularis contortus)
Near Skyscraper Mountain, Mt. Rainier N.P. , WA, 8/2011.
The common name “lousewort” is said to refer to a belief that cattle feeding on these plants would become infested with lice. The leaves are similar to their close relative Elephant head.

A lovely plant, but this is Pedicularis contorta, not rainierensis. To compare the two species, both of which grow in the same Mt. Rainier area, check out the following Burke Museum of Natural History link:
