GSMNP said that Marcin was reported missing to the park’s dispatch center on August 24. His vehicle was later found near the Sugarlands Visitor Center inside the park.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park has said that a search is underway for a missing man, Marcin Bachleda-Blaszczak, with National Park Service rangers looking for him.
“Encompassing over 800 square miles in the Southern Appalachian Mountains, no other area of equal size in a temperate climate can match the park’s amazing diversity. Over 19,000 species have been documented in the park and scientists believe an additional 80,000-100,000 species may live here.
In partnership with the University of Tennessee, Great Smoky Mountains National Park has created a series of tools to help people engage with the park’s natural resources,” National Park Service says of the park.
“Great Smoky Mountains National Park preserves a rich cultural tapestry of Southern Appalachian history. The mountains have had a long human history spanning thousands of years—from the prehistoric Paleo Indians, to early European settlement in the 1800s, to loggers and Civilian Conservation Corps enrollees in the 20th century,” it adds.
