They were growing by a creek in the San Gorgonio Wilderness at about 7,500 feet.

The white flower isn't a Phlox...
It has a Compound Umbel structure
How tall was it?
What type of soil was it growing in
Full sun , shade etc....
looks like some sort of onion or? I'll will endeavor to persevere
I'm guessing it's wet, moist soil, partial shade in a stream side environment similar to the Lemon Lily

Yep.
For a sense of the scale, note there is a bee in the photo.

A bee in that photo; I can't find it - damned old eyes.
