I always wear long pants hiking or camping. If its hot I'll wear some light fast drying pants. Sort of like the fishing pants you can get at cabelas i have some Columbia pants now that I really like. And cotton is not the best. I had some convertible pants but did not like the zipper rubbing my leg. Some folks like them so try them out before you hit the woods for three days straight.
Get your cloths and equipment early enough so you can try it out before setting out on a trek and being stuck with something you don't like. Take your pack loaded on some day hikes so you will know how to pack it evenly and efficiently. Just like every thing practice a little so you know what works for you.
And remember weight is your enemy when packing. If you can shave a few ounces per item it will make your trip much more enjoyable.
