 any other catholics out there? is there a patron saint of hikers/backpackers?
 the patrons of travelers are christopher and the archangel raphael but of the
 two i'd think that st christopher is more fitting. does the church recognize
 one? >>

he loved nature. Take a look at Catholic Online Patron Saints page.
