This was a native American trick, picked up by the boy scouts, on trail marking this tree doesn't seem old enough to be a native trail marker. Odds are it was done by a scout for a merit badge in trail marking.
It's less invasive to stack a few rocks.
That makes sense. This tree is right before some mining equipment from the 1800s and a small mine. Maybe it was the miners.
thanks for the info. found the Wikipedia page about them
Oh hey that’s pretty neat
