I’m a big nature lover, so I’m not only picking up trash when I go camping/hiking. When I see these stacks, I usually dismantle them manually, tossing stones in separate directions to blend in to the surroundings. I find them a lot near creek beds and streams, so it’s obvious it was a photographic opportunity for some influencer.

If they are actual cairns (trail markers), I leave them be. They are more identifiable with obvious weathering and growth around them. They’re usually constructed with larger rocks so that they are more visible and endure the tests of time.

You never go full shrimp.
