The 40-150 Pro is ideal, except for the hiking with it part, since it is a bit heavy. It you do not mind the size and weight and want the best optically, then this is it.

Another way to go is to pick up a O 75-300 ii. I have both that lens and the slower 40-150 but that lens almost never leaves the house.

Another way to go to split the difference in size, weight, reach and quality optics is to wait a bit for the release of the PL 50-200 f/2.8 - f/4. That could be the best of all worlds especially if it can focus closely like the O 40-150 Pro does. I am waiting on that one myself 😃
