Can someone ID this large yellow composite? It was growing near Mount Kobau in the Okanagan Valley in Canada.

From the geographical distribution, Balsamorhiza would better match. Perhaps species sagittata?
NE-France,Haut-Chitelet alpine garden,1200 m.asl
Rather cool/wet summer,reliable 4/5 months winter snow cover
Annual precip:200/250cm,3.5°C mean annual temp.
