If I were going to wear skirts hiking--and I would really, really not want to in tick country, and I don't live in Lyme territory (it's very rare out here--Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is more common), I would go for a shortish skirt, so as not to be dragging it around in the grass picking up hitchhikers, and either tights (which sounds kind of miserable) or over-the-knee socks. And I'd be checking my legs really really frequently.
In Lyme territory...I am not sure I'd be willing to take that risk; I'd probably restrict hiking to winter if I had to wear skirts, personally. I'm pretty paranoid about ticks--not only do I tuck pants into my socks and spray, but I visually check my pants legs periodically while hiking. But if there are no ticks where you hike, yay!
