Officials say the body of David Ossman was found about a mile-and-a-half from the Kautz Creek trailhead.
Park spokeswoman Lee Taylor says a ranger noticed that a vehicle had been parked all day Monday at a trailhead in the Kautz Creek area, and a check of the license plate showed the owner had been reported missing.
Four two-person teams and a bloodhound looked for signs in the area Tuesday.
Family members said he was probably not dressed for an overnight stay in the woods.
