According to the eversocool Digital Atlas of the Vascular Plants of Utah, P. acutifolia is the only species in that location. And I thought it seemed reasonable in the key as well.

Yes, I agree that your ID seemed reasonable, as I said. Having said that, with any info source like the one you've found, the question is always whether it's actually comprehensive or not (i.e. includes all species, rather than being a selective representation of species, or perhaps being a "work in progress" that is currently incomplete). If it is comprehensive, then your ID should be good. You may want to compare against other data sources such as USDA Plants, or against a comprehensive compilation of the flora of Utah. (I assume there probably is one).
