C. limbalis
Yep, you've got a C. limbalis there. 9000 ft is just about as high in elevation as they occur. I've seen them in Larimer Co just a few miles from there. - Dan

limbalis?
Could this possibly be limbalis? It looks like the middle line is shallowly bent, and it seems to reach the outer edge of the elytron.

What kind of habitat did you find it in? I put a vote in for Cicindela decemnotata
