Those thistles are always so aggressive looking. They look like German Thistle but I could be wrong.

They are also very agressive if you accidently touch them with your legs while hiking.

They look like they’d be tasty in a high end salad. Like the new frisée.

Hell, they look almost like the Russian thistle that grows in eastern Washington state.
