Lots of this up there, and elsewhere in Zion this year. Obviously a Lupine, but which one? Shows with blue and with white flowers, this patch being almost entirely white. On the ZNP wildflower list is:
Broad-leaved Lupine
Lupinus latifolius
Legume Family

|
Closeup of the blossoms. (The leaves don't look particularly broad to me...)

This one's a bit easier, though it was challenging to photograph.
Larkspur or Delphinium
Delphinium andersonii
Buttercup Family
