Don't quote me, but I think the rule is 5 minutes per 1 month of age....which always seemed quite short to me, and that may only be for leash walks. We have been taking Dutch for off leash hikes since he was about 16 weeks old, and they were usually good 1.5 to 2 hour hikes, but he had lots of time to stop, rest, swim, play etc. on our way.
I would think if you take it easy on him, you may be fine in a couple of weeks, but maybe someone who has more experience would think differently from me.
Happy hiking!

4-6 miles (6-10 km) per walk? I think the farthest i've gone with any of mine has been about 7km (4.5 miles) jog and at full grown they are absolutely done after that. You'll probably have a tough time walking a pup that far (pup wanting to keep going), and on top of that you want to avoid forced walks till like 1yr+ to not cause injury (growing dog, forming joints etc).
