This looks to me like this is a Subalpine Fir tree.  While that is very dense cone production, it is common for this tree to produce cones in abundance near the tops of the trees as seen in your picture.  Here is a link to an extension publication out of Utah that provides a good description of Subalpine Fir's growth characteristics and cone production.  http://extension.usu.edu/rangeplants/htm/subalpine-fir 

Thank you for your question.
