Beez... Hiking is very challenging to the vestibular system because of uneven and technical terrain and lots of visual stimuli (leaves on tree, light casting through trees, wind, noises etc..), as well as pollen. I think it is more these things than a change in elevation. I always have a harder time hiking than just walking down the street, and my vestibular therapist said hiking is very stimulating to the vestibular system, but a good challenge.
