With the help of my Plant Snap app, I learned that these unusual plants are squaw grass, Xerophyllum tenax, also known as bear grass, Indian basket grass, and on the east coast, turkey beards. They can grow up to 5 feet tall, although most that we saw were in the 3-foot range. They fascinated and entertained throughout the hike to Elk Meadows.
