Thanks Chesterbperry! We saw a similar species on the Pacific Crest Trail in California today.

Carex and Scirpus are in the same family(Cyperaceae), so not too far off. Fairly confident this is a Scirpus.

It could be but I'm not sure. Thank you for the effort!
kijikb
it was a guess as the stem looked triangular!

I don't think this is Carex...but thank you for your suggestion.
