This cairn was begun many years ago, as some who climbed the blue trail of Mt Nittany would add a rock to the top of the trail. Now, the cairn gathers more and more rocks as visitors add to it.

The structure has no defined shape, and is continually growing.

Hiking guides for the area refer to it:

A white blazed path to the left will afford 2 excellent vistas, a small cliff, and a great view of the Nittany Mall before looping around the mountain. This is especially nice when the fall leaves are turning. Follow the white blazes for a mile or so until you reach a rock pile, or 'cairn', about 6 feet high. At this intersection, you can go in a couple of directions, so check out the map for a better idea of where it leads. It takes less than a half-hour to get to this section, so you can do it on a relatively short hike.

This describes approaching after ascending the white trail.

Parking and trailhead are on Mount Nittany Road.
