Thank goodness it wasn't more serious.

The report from the Gallatin Country Sheriff's Office states:

According to the details, the man ran out of water during his hike and collapsed. Other hikers couldn't get him back to his feet. Rescuers hiked to the man and provided first aid, and then transported him down the trail with a specialized wheel litter. The ambulance then transported the man tot he Bozeman Health Hospital.
