critical support to this guy in his war against little stacks of rocks. men need hobbies
Cairns are a really mixed bag in the Rockies. Alpine ecosystems can take decades or even centuries to regenerate. Having a cairn on a poorly marked trail can be really helpful and is more naturalistic than signage while offloading the burden of the rangers to maintain those signs. Where it's used to mark a specific established path, a cairn is good. Most cairns up there don't though. People go off-trail to collect rocks that are established crevice habitat, then put them in an ornamental cairn for a photo. Others take more rocks and add to it, each one furthering the ecological degradation. People who do follow cairns as trail markers are then incentivised to go off-trail which can compound the damage or risk their injury.
I dismantle any I see that aren't for pathfinding.
kicking down stonehenge cuz it ain't supposed to be stacked like that
Kicking down Stonehenge because it was built by An*los
Tbf the proto-anglos were still on the continent at that point
SHUT
Actually pisses me off that people are dismantling centuries-old walls for a photo on their fucking insta timeline
Will the commies choose to respect nature and to leave parks intact for future visitors, or a few moments of atomized self gratification? The answer may surprise you!
There was a rock stacking struggle session? 
A year or two ago, yeah. It vaguely followed the indoor/outdoor cat thing
It was closer to the "are bidets classist" discourse

Try like five years. This was from the early days.
I think the shit is pretty pointless myself but I'm too worried about bills and whatnot to give a rip about stacks of rocks so whatever.
Disappointing. As a communist, you need to forget the problems that are plaguing every working class person now, and post a 2000 word screed on why stacks of rocks are good or bad.
if we pre-stack the rocks it's easier to get them when we want to throw them at cops
It Canada it's a bit of a contentious issue because Inuksuks are being put up constantly outside the Arctic areas they come from, and by people with no connection to Inuit or other northern traditions.
spoiler spoiler
I did in fact not stack these. But I did take the picture.
:::Look at these cool rocks I stacked
I want to be as unambiguous as possible: I am pro rock.
watching as a hiker gets lost in the wilderness cuz i kicked his rocks down

Truly the greatest problem of our time.
