BOZEMAN — The Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center reported two hunters were walking near the saddle of Sacajawea Peak in the Bridger Range at about 9,000 feet of elevation when they triggered a 40- to 50-foot wide slide about 20 feet above them just before 7 a.m. Tuesday.

The men were carried 400 feet down the mountain over rocks, and one man was knocked unconscious. Doctors cleared them of any critical injuries.
