Hiking an 8 in Goat's Peak - Moderate

Avoiding doing the traditional there-and-back hike to the top of Goat's Peak, this route will be somewhat of a figure of 8 hike, leaving from the Pebble Beach trail head. Plan on a moderate hike. It will be about 6 km and 330m elevation gain. We will enjoy a brief break at the top lookout. Micro spikes are recommended if icy. Check beforehand as I'll cancel if it appears to be rainy weather.
