On the other hand, when I go hiking out in the country away from people, I am really calm and the best way to describe it is it "hits my reset button", I feel a lot better after I've gone and done this. Its like this anytime I spend 5+ hours outside, but more so when I go hiking in back country. Could this be a form of meditation?

Yes, I too find that my mind becomes peaceful and spacious and thoughts settle very quickly in an outdoor open environment such as you describe - and I prefer to meditate outside when I'm at home - or beside an open window, depending on the weather.
