Man missing in Yosemite, Park Service asking for public's help

Scott Tenczar had planned to backpack from Robinson Creek to Crown Lake, Matterhorn Canyon, Smedberg Lake, Seavey Pass, and Peeler Lake in late July and has not been seen since.

The 48-year-old Tenczar was last seen at the Bridgeport Ranger Station on July 25, 2018. He is an experienced hiker and knows the area well.

Former Army Ranger missing in northern part of Yosemite National Park
Matt Tenczar added that he believed a ranger may have spoken to Scott Tenczar on either Aug. 1 or Aug. 2, because his permit was set to expire on that date.

Matt Tenczar lauded the park service for its diligent search and use of helicopters, but said, “unfortunately they can't keep it going forever, so they said without any physical evidence, either backpacks or anything like that, then they do have to suspend the search.”

Overall, his brother’s disappearance is “uncharacteristic,” Matt Tenczar said.

“He is highly experienced in that area. He probably hiked that trail dozens of times. We've been going up to that area since we were just kids,” he said.

A few miles from where my Dad lives a hiker with limited experience and no gear very recently survived six days lost in the mountains eating berries and bees. Scott had lots of experience and gear - I truly expected a different outcome here My condolences to all who loved him.
