Between a rock and a hard place: Some defend stones-piling as land art. Others say it confuses hikers and mars natural habitats.
DUNBAR, Scotland—For lovers of the outdoors, it is one of the most polarizing questions of our times: Is it ever okay to stack big piles of stones?
The pastime has taken off in recent years, inspired by artists who photograph their elaborate pieces and post them on Instagram. Contests take place around the world where stackers compete to build the tallest or most ambitious sculptures. Stackers, though, have been blamed for confusing hikers who use traditional cairns—old, man-made rock piles used for navigation— to find their way home. Many U.S. national parks ban stone stacking, saying it could disturb natural habitats or ancient archaeological sites.“It erodes the unique identity of places,” says Becky Coles, a mountain guide based in Wales.
