Parry’s clover, Trifolium parryi, is a common bloom this time of year, in a range of Wyoming elevations from the subalpine to alpine. 
I find this member of the pea family much daintier and prettier than a lot of other clover species. Part of that may come from its higher elevation occurrence and part from its pleasant two-toned purply flowers. The long, folded green leaves spreading in dense clusters also help make this species appealing.
This plant can form mats in moist areas, leading to a very lush green and lavender ground covering.
Parry’s clover can be found only in the Rocky Mountains, where there are three proposed subspecies. I am just going to enjoy the beauty and not worry about the specifics with this one!
