Anecdotal only, no photo.
Saw a single pika just below the top of Aasgard Pass.
I heard them alarming all over the area on both sides of the pass. It sounded like quite a large colony there. I didn't see or hear their signs in other parts of the Enchantments.
Their call is different than the Sierra Nevada pika I'm familiar with.
