You are probably fine with the .45 as long as you aren't in the NE part with the grizzlies and meese.
Shotguns- Rem 870, Winchester 12, Mossberg 500, all good. |

The pistol griped Mossberg breacher is 28-1/8" overall if that helps you.

I have an 18" Rem 870. If you ditched the mag extension, and used a composite stock/fore end, I think it would be rather light and easy to pack.

I haven't had any problems with my Benelli Nova, and I love it. Not sure if they offer anything small enough for you though.

norinco 982
smoother than my REAL 870. has ghost rings. finish is ok . . its a damn 200 dollar shotgun, put bbq paint on it if you damage it 
if anything happens to it, bust out the bbq paint, or oh well, its a 200 dollar parkerized/ghostring shotgun with the same innards as an 870 |

Coach guns are pretty small.
Take a look at a Remington Spartan. |

An 18 inch pump with a pistol grip is probably the smallest you can get with out going class 3

If it's bears you're concerned about, I'd go with a high caliber revolver, or maybe a lever gun. Both would work fine, and would be lighter than a shotgun. We only have blackies here, so unless I'm car camping, I just bring a handgun. Although, if my wife is there, she insists I take the 12 gauge. She doesn't like bears, except at the zoo.

Something I've always thought would be a good combination for hiking/backpacking/camping is a S&W 4" .44 magnum revolver and a Winchester 1894 in .44 magnum. Put a red dot on the '94 and it's just buckets of win.

Either of these fit well in a backpack when hiking:
