Dr. Donald Colantino answered

Rhabdomyolysis: It is possible to develop rhabdo after a long hike lasting hours due to breakdown of muscle tissue. People who have had rhabdo have a greater chance of developing it. Keep hydrated, listen to your body and avoid medications like Advil,etc which can affect kidney function. Dark urine and significant muscle pain are warnings.
