Depends on the grade of the hike and how fast you're moving. An uphill hike on uneven terrain definitely burns more than walking the same pace on a flat road. Sites like this link below will provide you with an estimate based on your weight and the amount of time. For example for a 140lb person hiking for 60 min burns 378 calories.
