I agree with Hugh for the most part. However, I would add that were you not to try the hiking first and went directly to medical treatment, you might obsess forever about not having given hiking chance.
I don't understand the motivation for going on a second hiking trip. Perhaps you can explain your rationale for this? I would think that one course of hiking and one course of CBT would be enough to determine your resilience without drug treatment. I guess one could argue that the second trip would help in some way to build upon the CBT, both biologically and psychologically - a gestault of sorts. You might save a month by doing the CBT first, and then go hiking. You might find that the hiking, although it might be a very positive experience, is not necessary. CBT might be sufficient.
