Park workers found McLaughlin’s vehicle at the Lupine Meadows trailhead Sunday and began a search on the ground and by air.
The trailhead is a backcountry access point near Jenny Lake in the park’s southern end.
Where McLaughlin may have planned to hike wasn’t known. He could have been in the Garnet Canyon, Surprise, Amphitheater, Delta, or Taggart Lakes area, park officials said.
Grand Teton officials asked anyone with potentially helpful information to call or text (888) 653-0009.
