Hiking 5 miles typically burns about 350–1,300 calories, depending on body weight, grade, and pace.

On a 4-mile hike, calorie burn ranges about 350–1,050 based on pace, body weight, terrain, and pack load.

A 3-mile hike burns about 455–760 calories for 160–200-lb hikers on typical trails; pace, grade, and pack weight shift the total.

On a typical trail, a 70-kg hiker burns about 420–490 calories per hour; grade, pack weight, pace, and altitude shift that number.

A 10-mile hike burns about 1,200–2,600 calories for most adults; weight, pace, elevation, and pack load change the total.

Calories burned from hiking range from about 300–700 per hour for most adults, depending on body weight, pace, terrain, and pack.

Calories burned during hiking depend on weight, pace, grade, distance, and pack; use MET × body weight × time to estimate.

Hiking uphill burns roughly 6–12 METs—about 300–900 calories per hour for 70–90 kg hikers, depending on grade, pace, and pack.

Estimate hiking calories with METs: calories/min = MET × 3.5 × weight(kg) ÷ 200.

Hiking typically burns 300–600 calories per hour, depending on weight, pace, terrain, and pack load.
