Local legend has it that some of Gaspar de Portola’s scouts spotted a goat atop a summit near Temescal Canyon and named it Goat Peak. More recently, when Will Rogers was asked if he wanted the peak renamed after himself, he replied. “No. I don’t want to rob the goat of his glory.”
But we can grab some of that glory! An HWD original, this is a strenuous 7.5 mile loop hike in Pacific Palisades. For more details and pics see https://www.hikingwithdean.com/event/goat-peak-will-rogers-rivas-canyon-loop/
