Glacier National Park, MT

Spotted this flower in Glacier National Park near Ptarmigan Tunnel but can't figure out what it is.

That's pretty! Like half anemone, half pasque flower.

I don't see it on this amazing list:

Maybe represented by a sketch:

Anemone coronaria, similar to 'Lord Lieutenant'.

The hairy petals made me think of Pulsatilla, may be a double flower (wild/natural occurred) mutant?

I thought Pulsatilla too but the leaves don't seem right. I'm surprised that would be still there "in the wild", it could invoke a serious case of plant lust! You could write to the NPS and ask what it is:
