Trammell Evans, 25, was last seen on April 30 at Black Rock Campground, located on Black Rock Canyon Road. 

He was wearing a gray/white/silver hoodie, a black Patagonia puffy vest, blue shorts, blue size 13 Asics shoes and a dark green beanie. He also had a black REI backpack and an eggcrate style sleeping pad, according to the National Parks Service. 

Evans, whom law enforcement described as an "avid hiker," is 6-foot-3 inches tall and weighs around 190 pounds. He has red hair, brown eyes and facial hair with a mustache. 

Park officials began to search for Evans after he failed to return to the campground. They've been searching for him for about 24 hours. 

California Highway Patrol is assisting with the search.
