Officials say the 49-year-old is an experienced runner, and has run several marathons and often runs in the park.
Last week, Pallansch was attempting a 28-mile route that crosses the Continental Divide and some steep talus slopes. The trail travels through Lake Verna, Mount Alice, Chiefs Head Peak and more.
On Saturday, more than 55 people from 38 search teams made their way through sections of the park where he may be. Officials say recent winds at high elevations have slowed air operations.
Pallansch has a navigation device, but it cannot call for emergency assistance.

Seriously if this guy was so darn experience why didn’t he leave a plan with anybody? Why did he not bring the right equipment? It was obviously very selfish of him to do this and I do hope they find him but it comes to a point where you need to stop. He chose to take off like he was some big man and can conquer anything and now everybody else is out there trying to find him because he couldn’t do things the right way.
