This is a great hike...there is so much you can do.  Go for the distance and hit Zilker and back or go to nice relaxing views of waterfalls and a quick dip.  You can go up the river and see a lot more....or explore a little and get off the main trails....There was more bikers but they were nice and tried to let you know that they were coming so I could get out of the way.....Next time I'll try a longer hike earlier in the morning....
