It's a Cairn, used to find your way on hiking trails. I got to it first so I'm sitting and taking a break, and so the humans would see it too. I don't know what they would do without me, probably be lost!
Cairn is a man-made pile of stones. It comes from the Scottish
Gaelic: càrn. Cairns are found all over the world in uplands, on moorland, on
mountaintops, near waterways and on sea cliffs, and also in barren desert and
tundra areas. The most common use in
North America and Northern Europe is to mark mountain bike and hiking trails
and other cross-country trail blazing, especially in mountain regions at or
above the tree line.
