I used to live in Alaska, and hiking was one of my favorite past times. If you're looking at handgun, .44 Mag, minimum, but if you can do it, I'd really go .454 Casull. For short hikes, I usually carried my Mossberg 500 12ga loaded with Brenneke Black Magic 3" Magnums, and my 1911 on my hip. I didn't own a .44 or bigger, so on longer hikes, I'd borrow my Dads.
