Cairn

Cairn (noun): a pile of stones that mark a place (such as the place where someone is buried or a battle took place) or that shows the direction of a trail

After having been on the trail for three weeks, she was excited to review the photos she had captured of her solo trek across the Peloncillo Mountains. She relived the highlights, smiling as she clicked from frame to frame. This photo, she thought to herself, is one I don't recall taking. Her skin became flush with heat. In the foreground, a small cairn of rocks with her white underwear like a snow-capped mountain sat waiting for this moment. An eerie touch to an already creepy photo of her sitting at a campfire. She was unaware a stranger had lifted her camera, taken this photo, and returned it to her pack. She sat staring at the screen as waves of unsettling fear came over her. She had not seen another person the whole trip.
