Question about trail markers in the White Mountains. Why does everyone ignore the actual cairns?

Disagree on that one, honestly. I've found the real cairns are usually placed right where you NEED them, like above treeline when the fog rolls in. People build their own little rock piles for fun or photos and THAT'S what causes the confusion. The official trail crews know the sight lines. Following the random stacks is how you end up off trail.
