Oh, please I have no greater ability to assess plants, we are all equal here and I greatly value everyone's input. I am sure I am wrong about many things, I am just trying to discern and learn.
I used to spend time in Montana's mountains when I lived there and have been chastised by career naturalist freinds for stepping on plants, so ya know it's just become a thing.
Slopes can be difficult to traverse, let alone search. Rain, wind, things rolling down, it would be hard to find what your looking for. I would for sure search it a couple of times and over time. Easy to miss stuff.
Sorry, I didn't mean that the way it came out. I meant I have trouble making out details on videos, so I couldn't tell whether the tops are trampled. If so, it's an important detail, as you pointed out.
Whereabouts in Montana? I'm from the Bozeman area.
