Question
On Mount Washington not far below tree line (above 4,000 feet) July 27, 2013. I have heard suggestions of Erechites and Solidago sensu lato.
Answer
Dear jfc, this is Solidago macrophylla (large-leaved goldenrod). It is a typical component of high-elevation subalpine forests in New England. It just needs some openings or sparse canopy in places to get an area where it doesn't compete with dense woody plant growth. Best wishes.
