So you are a nigger then. Those "hippy stacks of stones" are used to mark trails by people who are not hippies.
Trail markers are different. Usually a colored blaze. Cairns are typically scenic location markers, not trail markers. They are a quick alteration of the natural landscape to arrogantly proclaim nothing more than a stacker of rocks came before you. Most conservation groups detest cairns for their graffiti like attributes.
