ASPEN, Colo. (AP) - Authorities have rescued two teenage boys after they got stuck on a steep hillside above Snowmass Village while hiking.

The Aspen Times reports (https://bit.ly/2gAn8FQ ) that the boys were able to call for help Saturday when they got caught at the top of a ridge and a cliff blocked their descent.

Rescue crews eventually located the boys and a Snowmass Village police officer climbed the hillside and guided them down to safety.



The teenagers were uninjured.
