There had been a “tremendous” response to appeals for help with a large number of calls and messages reporting potential sightings, police said.
Described as experienced campers equipped with a tent and some limited supplies, the teens, who were part of a group camping in the park, had not been seen since Thursday morning. They were reported missing Friday night.
