Hayden Klemenok was part of a group backpacking in California’s Upper Chilnualna Fall on a Sunday afternoon when he entered Chilnualna Creek at the trail junction, and he hasn’t been seen since. said the park on Facebook and its website Tuesday.
Park officials are asking anyone who hiked in the Upper Chilnualna Fall area on Sunday or any time after to contact the park service.
“Simply knowing where you went and when you were there can help us focus the search whether you saw someone or not,” the park said in the post.
Klemenok was last seen wearing a tan hat, white sunglasses, a red T-shirt, blue swimming trunks and white Adidas shoes.
A warning on the park’s website on Tuesday warns visitors to stay away from rivers and creeks due to flooding, noting that they are “surprisingly fast, cold and dangerous.”
