Tom and Richie had been due to return to their Cheshire home in Alsager on Wednesday after travelling to Glen Nevis and Glencoe.
Officers previously confirmed they had found Mr Parry's car in the Three Sisters car park in Glencoe where they stopped on Tuesday to go hillwalking.
The pair's family has been informed, although the bodies have yet to be formally identified.
A massive search for the pair was mounted on Wednesday involving mountain rescue teams and a coastguard helicopter.
But today Police Scotland said that two bodies have been found during a search in Glencoe Wednesday evening.
'They are yet to be formally identified. However, the family of father and son Tom Parry, 49, and Richie Parry, 12, from Cheshire, who had been reported missing in the area, have been made aware,' said the force.
'Enquiries are ongoing but there are no apparent suspicious circumstances.
'A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal in due course.'
Inspector Craig Johnstone said: 'Our thoughts are with all those involved. I would like to thank all emergency services and mountain rescue volunteers.'
