Can anyone identify these wildflowers? I have searched on the internet and can't find them. Thanks for your help.

Here's another.

And 1 more. Thanks so much.

The 2nd one looks like lupine that has yet to fully bloom. The 3rd is a sunflower ... don't know the exact type. The 1st way may also be a sunflower, as there are a lot of different flowers in the sunflower family.

Can't help with the first or third, but the second is fireweed.

The second one is fireweed, the third one is orange sneezeweed, the first one almost looks like heartleaf arnica, but if you had a photo that included leaves, that would help.

Ignore my suggestions . I was smoking sneezeweed at the time. The orange sneezeweed is part of the sunflower family, but is a much more precise name. And fireweed is correct.
I'll try and redeem myself (or dig a deeper hole) by saying that the 1st one looks a lot like Mule's Ears.

Without leaves, it's kind of hard to classify the first picture beyond 'DYC'. Looks a bit Mule's Ears-ish to me, but could be any of a number of plants...
