I'd look into mirrorless options. They are smaller and easier to lug around on long trips. The bigger DSLR's may be uncomfortable with the longer hikes. Especially with all of the lenses, tripod, and other accessories. With a mirrorless and one or two good lenses, you could be set.
Not sure if they can be waterproof, though. I don't deal with any waterproof equipment.
going to back this statement, came here to write this.
I haven't had the $ for one yet, but I plan to eventually.
good luck
