A healthy young goat should be able to walk as far you can. It's good for their growing bodies to get lots of exercise. It strengthens bones and joints and grows muscle. Of course, if they are currently thin or out of shape then you will have to get them into condition. Watch for stress signs as you go such as panting, lagging, or stopping and looking back down the trail. We've taken babies as young as four months on all-day hikes in somewhat difficult terrain. They are still outrunning us at the end of the day! A more common problem with young goats is not giving them enough exercise to develop properly.
