Found this in a limestone canyon in northern Arizona, at about 750 meters. It looks like an Erigeron, but it doesn't key out well. Perennial. Sorry about the blurry shots.
Erigerons are tough for identification. At this resolution, it is difficult to judge about tiny details of hair structure important for keying. Lot of help from species locality - many erigerons are endemic to few counties. Check also some close species like Chaetopappa ericoides.
Yes, I think this may turn out to belong to a genus with pappa or pappus in the name. I thought "something pappus" when I first saw your pictures last night. Probably another genus (than Erigeron) anyway, if you have a key to aster family genera of your region try going back to that.
So I started at the beginning of the Asteraceae key for this area and it is indeed Chaetopappa ericoides. It was not very sticky (glandular), but apparently this is highly variable in this species: http://efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=250066324
