Rather hard to tell from the photo... Cheilanthes tenuifolia? It used to grow nicely under the pines in that general area.

Hi
I can take a close up. What features are important?

Individual plants (ie close up), and (ideally) the details of the spore casing under the fronds, but a close up is the single best thing. It's not exactly keying out a specimen but the ID can be very reliable.
