The pair were located Wednesday evening after a rescue crew conducted a successful effort to get them off the mountain.
Their conditions were not immediately available.
The two had set out earlier Saturday with a group of four people, but two of them turned back halfway through out of concerns about the danger of the trail.
Dozens of members of search-and-rescue crews had been combing the mountainous area by ground and air since they were reported missing.
