Motorcycle Road Length: 131 Miles

Written Directions

The Three Sisters route starts in Medina, TX. From Medina catch RR337 (at this point you are starting on "The Three Sisters") heading west (right). Take RR337 west until you come up on the town of Leakey. At Leakey, go north on US 83 for a just about a mile and look for RR336 on the left. Take a left onto RR336 which will head you north. Continue north on RR336 until you meet Texas 41 and at this point you will want to turn left in order to head west. Go west for 15 miles or so and you will find RR335 on the left. Take a left (east) and get on RR335 and drive south down to Camp Wood where you can take a left on to RR337 and finish out the loop when you hit Leakey again.

Scenery

A ride through this part of Texas will most certainly change your view of my beloved state. You will ride amongst scenery as good as it gets, along clear rivers, through very twisty mountain type curves amidst real Texas Ranches. With million dollar vistas and cool clear waters along with friendly folks and knowing that you are riding the best this large state can offer, makes for great riding... Nueces River (pronounced New-Aces) on Ranch Rd 335

Road Quality

This route is mainly very twisty passing over large hills and between not many gas stations. This roller coaster ride will no doubt blow you away. The road is not heavily traveled, but beware as sharp turns have certainly taken many motorcyclist down. Also, although the surface is mostly in very good condition, always watch for loose gravel, deer and slow moving locals heading back to their ranch ... often a much slower pace than we're zippin by at.

Roadside Amenities

This route isn't going to be know for its "Roadside Amenities" as much as it is known for its scenery and road quality. There are some very nice pull-outs, stop and enjoy the long vistas. Gas up in Leakey as there are not too many gas stations to choose from and where there is a very good motorcycle shop. For a refreshing summertime swimming hole try the Frio River (frio meaning cold!!!). Note from a recent MotorcycleRoads.com visitor about this route: "Hwy 16 between Kerrville and Bandera is not for beginners! Due to recent accidents, weekend police patrol has increased a great deal. Hwy 173 may be a better route between Kerrville & Bandera."

Comment: It was one sweet ride. Just make sure you keep your tank full of gas because there is not alot of gas stations around. And pack your swim trunks for a quick dip. Will be doing it again. And also stop by the Motorcycle spot and get your shirt saying you had ridin three twisted sisters.

Comment: Had heard and read about these roads for years, so my expectations were very high, which usually sets you up for a let down. Man, not in this case! the roads were amazing. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. The stops along the way were nothing but great food, and very biker-friendly folks. Based out of Koyote ranch...a little pricey, but great food, rooms, and service.

Comment: I HAVE RIDDEN THE "3 SISTERS" SEVERAL TIMES. THE HILL COUNTRY IS A NICE PLACE TO RIDE. BE SURE AND STOP AT THE "LONE STAR MOTORCYCLE MUSEUM" IN VANDERPOOL, IF YOU GET A CHANCE. THEY HAVE A NICE COLLECTION OF OLD MOTORCYCLES AND A RESTAURANT INSIDE THE MUSEUM. GOOD BURGERS AND COLD SODA POP. TAKE CARE & RIDE SAFE!

Comment: Took this ride on my Wing this Sept. 08 and found it to be everything I expected. The scenery is absolutely spectacular. The two sisters that are made up of 337 and 335 are the most challenging. Be aware of possible gravel in sharp turns and rocks fallen onto the road. Do not make this run at night , you can't see the deer in the road! If you are an experienced rider and you haven't run the Sisters, you haven't run the best that Texas has to offer!

Comment: This ride is on my top five for Tx. But since I'm coming from Houston, I don't think I'm going to waste my time on 41 or 336 next time - just up and down 335 and 337. 336 is simply a death wish since cattle and deer freely meander accross it not to mention those damn cattle guards.

Comment: Being a winter Texan I have ridden the "Three Sisters" at least five times a year for over ten years now. Having ridden in about 30 diffwerent states I rate the "Three Sisters" right at the top with all of my favorit rides. I just cant get enough of those three highways, especially the "Roller Coaster" 335, and the 16 mile stretch between Leaky and Vanderpool that we call the "Twisted Sister"

Comment: I have met people from all over the world who have come to ride the Sisters. Don't miss Frio Canyon just west of Leakey on FM337. It is a small Motorcycle Mecca in this area. Bikers and Motorcyclists welcome and friendly. A couple of important tips, FM337 between Medina and Leakey is technical, with long lulling stretches of predictable twists, until you get to the "Gulch" or "Gap" going west it is a mean decreasing radius after a sweet set of sweepers. Heading east it is a tight turn that opens up to an off-camber hump, and I don't know which is worse. For folks from urban areas FM336 is a "Free Range Cattle" area, which is Texan for no fences, and the occasional cattle guard (RR tracks 6 feet wide). About half of the cattle guards are on a curve. Also very important keep your eye out for a guy with a camera next to a Goldwing. He takes pictures of riders as they pass by and then you can buy them at txmotofoto.com I have several.

Comment: Have ridden the Sisters on three trips this spring. The ride from Kerrville on Hwy 16 to Medina and then west on 337 to Leakey was as much fun as the Sisters - and much more challenging. Take Hwy 39 to Hwy 83 from Kerrville for a nice ride to Leakey if you want to avoid the 1st gear, straight uphill switchbacks on 16.

Comment: I have never had as much fun with my clothes on. 14 bikes in our group and we rode all three sisters in both directions over two and one half days. Stayed at Camp Wood and had a wonderful time. The roads were great except for the cattle guards on Hwy 336. Watch out for them. Weather was great for us and there is plenty of places around to get gas food and drinks. Remember this is for riding, not for lounging about in a drinking establishment.

Comment: Rode the 3 sisters Friday and Saturday October 17th and 18th 2008. What a great ride, the scenery is fantastic. The cattle guards do take away from the ride but not bad. Just slow down a little. Do be careful in the twisties. Our ride captain went down on Saturday. He came over the top of one of the hills to find the road made a sharp right turn. He went off the road and crashed. He will be ok, broken femur and a bruised ego. So be careful and enjoy what I think is the best riding in Tx.

Comment: This ride is one of the top ten rides in the nation. It has it all. Scenery and challenge. The scenery is certainly beautiful especially in the spring. Not too hot and trees and cactus in bloom. The people in the area are glad to have you there and are friendly. The road surface itself is in fair to good conditon. The curves are many and sometimes surprising. We saw no livestock on the road at all but the possibility is there. Unexpected trips off the road will surely result in seriuos injury and the cushion is large sharp rock. If you leave the road you will get hurt. The road lulls you to over confidence then jumps up to bite. This ride is not for beginners at all as the speeds can get too great leading into a sharp curve. The roadside amenities are limited so be sure to fuel up when possible. The state of Texas needs to put more marked pull outs on these roads for rest and photos. There are good food and fuel in Leakey plus a great motorcycle food/music/shop just west of Leakey. This road should not be missed by serious motorcyclist.

Comment: Did this route Saturday (July 31, 2010) with my son and four other riders. We trekked down from Killeen/Fort Hood and hit the Sister about 3:00, in the blazing heat, and had the time of our lives! My son is going to have a great story with which to begin his Senior year of high school back in Ohio!

Comment: Rode The Three Sisters 09/06/09 on my 1981 Gl500I along with my brother and his Kawasaki 1500. We had a blast! What a great run. We didn't know Texas had it in her. We rode up from San Antonio on the advice of some bikers we'd met in Bandera earlier in the day and just thought we'd check it out. I've been riding for years and my brother just started. I'm used to riding in N.C. Va. and Oh. and haven't seen anything better. Novices beware! Them speed limit signs are for you.

Comment: Me and two buddies rode twisted sister on 5/17/08, about 5 miles of 337 is still tow-up just before Leakey. Koyote Ranch in Medina is a great meet and start and stay place. The best ever! You won't regret it. We gona do it again real soon. Matter a fact, One of my buddies went back to Leakey this weekend, from Houston just because he forgot a T-Shirt. Now....if that don't impress you I don't know what will.

Comment: 3/12/11 My riding buddy and I rode from Juntion, TX down 377 to 41 then south on Ranch Rd 335 to Ranch Rd 337 then rode east to Leakey, Tx. We then headed north on 336 to Hwy 41. Then East on 41 to FM 1340 east to 39 then 27 to Kerrville. We ate in Kerrville then headed south on 16 to 337 west back to 335 then headed north to 41 west, then north on 377 back to Junction. We rode from 6:30 am to 7:30 pm for a total of 335 miles on Saturday. It was an amazing ride. Temp's ranged in the morning from mid 50's to upper 70's mid day. At the Frio Canyon Motorcycle Shop we stopped and talked with a group of South Texas American Legion riders riding the sisters also. When we arrived back in Junction we were tired,,, but couldn't wipe the smiles from our faces. I suggest any avid rider who wants a day of amazing riding and site seeing,, Ride the Three Twisted Sisters and Hwy 16 from Kerrville down to 377. A Truly Great Day of Riding.

Comment: I rode this recently, and I must say... WOW. That was one of the best routes I have been on so far. Also, don't pass up 336! That was one of the funnest sections of twisties. I didn't see any deer nor cows that day, there are only a few cattle guards, and they were very smooth and mainly on straight sections of the road. 336 was also very good pavement. If you have never been on those roads before, take it easy the first time, and you will have a blast!

Comment: The Three Sisters are a great ride, but ya need to know your limitations. Lots of chances to ruin your whole day. I've ridden the roads in North Georga, Tennesse, & North and South Carolina. Those roads are great too, but they always have a bunch of car traffic. The Sisters are pretty near deserted. I live very close, so I get to ride these roads every weekend. Ya gotta ride "The Twisted Sisters", at least once.

Comment: September 25th - 27th, 2009 This was a fantastic ride... there were three of us who took off from Austin on Friday - and found the Three Sisters a fantastic ride. The road quality was good (I kept hearing about the cattle guards - but they were smooth smooth smooth) and the road quality was great! Couple that with the awe-inspiring views and fantastic weather and you have one of the best rides in Texas. Also recommend staying in the Leakey area - gives you an opportunity to take your time and appreciate all the area has to offer. Definitely would recommend to anyone who wants to experience one of the best rides in Texas.

Comment: I rode the 3 Sisters the past weekend (Feb. 27 -29, 2009. The only way to describe this is "Breath Taking!" No construction evident, plenty of gas. Be sure to stop in Leaky at the Biker Stop. Plenty of curves, elevation changes and 41 is a good place to "see what you got" so to speak. I will return within 3 months. This is a ride and a place one who loves riding, scenery and all around beauty will never tire of. Be safe. "

Comment: As of the end of September 08, 337 is still under construction for the last 2 miles into Leakey. The rest is great. It is passable, but go slow. Loose gravel. All of the rest of the sisters is in fine shape, and one should not fear the cattleguards. Just slow for them. Camp Wood is a great ending place, or starting for that matter. Gas and food available in every town you come to. Fall is the time to do this!

Comment: Caution: 337 between Vanderpool and Leakey is under repair as of 4/08. 6-8 miles of hard packed dirt. However, if still under repair, you can check a map and drop down at Vanderpool or Leakey, and take another route to pick back up on the remainder of 337. Maybe the best ride in Texas: the Three Sisters (335, 336, 337)

Comment: Rode the three sisters and dropped in at the Lone Star Motorcycle Museum. Stayed at Garner State Park. The area is everything it's cracked up to be. Sure you have to watch for critters and loose gravel in places but the cattle guards are no concern at all - Not sure why people are concerned about them. Do not ride this area at night if you can help it. There are deer, turkey and other unpredictable animals all over the place from dusk onwards.

Comment: my first ever long distance ride and my friends chose the 3 sisters! We did 850 miles in less than 2 days. While i'm sore like never before, it was by far totally worth it! Definately not for the amatuer though. i was fortunate to go with experienced riders who gave me great advice ahead of time. If you're thinking about trying it out- stop thinking, get on your bike and do it! i only wish we'd had stopped to take in some of the scenery, still the curves, elevation changes and BEAUTIFUL weather was awesome. Running in a pack makes it even cooler. i was told i'm now an official biker since i survived.

Comment: Great Ride!! Hands down one of the top 3 in Texas. I started in Medina, leaving my home at 7am & picking up a passenger in Copperas Cove, TX and riding approximately 165 miles to get there. My timing was such that we would eat lunch in Leakey..but what we didn't know at the time was that the restaurant we wanted to eat at was on the return stretch on 337 coming back into Leakey from the north. So filled up with gas & hydrated with cold water, then proceeded north from Leakey on 336 up to TX41, ran west, left on 335, and down...finally stopping at a little roadside cafe called "Angel Wings Cafe". The food was good, but the people were great. Very friendly, from the waitress who was on her 4th day working there, to the customers who just pulled up a chair and started conversating. We finished lunch and proceeded south through Barkesdale where we were told to watch out for the local cop who liked to write tickets, and on to Camp Wood where we picked up the final stretch of 337 leading us back into Leakey from the NW. As we entered Leakey THERE was the retaurant Frio River that we wanted to eat. Oh well, by then we were eager to finish the loop, head back to Medina, and then on back home. For us, it was slightly over 500 miles for the day...about 520 to be exact. But what a great day! This loop is NOT for novices, and I recommend if you want to carry a passenger, do it in the cooler months...not in July like I did. I'll probably be back this summer...but riding solo this time. The views are breathtaking, the people are friendly...and oh yeah, make sure you top off in Leakey because there isn't a gas stop to stop at until Barkesdale... If you ride, and if you live in Texas...you must ride the Sisters!

The food was good, but the people were great. Very friendly, from the waitress who was on her 4th day working there, to the customers who just pulled up a chair and started conversating. We finished lunch and proceeded south through Barkesdale where we were told to watch out for the local cop who liked to write tickets, and on to Camp Wood where we picked up the final stretch of 337 leading us back into Leakey from the NW. As we entered Leakey THERE was the retaurant Frio River that we wanted to eat. Oh well, by then we were eager to finish the loop, head back to Medina, and then on back home. For us, it was slightly over 500 miles for the day...about 520 to be exact. But what a great day! This loop is NOT for novices, and I recommend if you want to carry a passenger, do it in the cooler months...not in July like I did. I'll probably be back this summer...but riding solo this time. The views are breathtaking, the people are friendly...and oh yeah, make sure you top off in Leakey because there isn't a gas stop to stop at until Barkesdale... If you ride, and if you live in Texas...you must ride the Sisters!

Comment: I did the Three Sisters riding mid-week during a Texas hot July. Left Kerrville before dawn headed south on Hwy 16 to Medina. Rode all three ladies, then backtracked to Hwy 39 and returned to K'ville following the Guadalupe by way of Hunt and Ingram. Wore the chicken strips plumb off my new tires. Great ride. Can be a little unsettling for the novice rider.

Comment: Did the 3 sisters, 1 at a time, then all three together, they were a great ride, it was better doing the 3 together. They seam to have done this before, it was like they fed off each other. They did a number on me also, WOW those were some women.

Comment: Wife and i of 45 years decided we needed to do this before more time passes. Boy was it enjoyable. The " sisters " has more beauty than one deserves. Sadly there was a fatality on 336. I cannot stress enough that the twisted sisters is not for the novice. If you don't have a bunch of seat time, stay off it. Saw quite a few of "kids" on the crotch rockets and am amazed there is not more fatalities. Anyway was very enjoyable and planning on going back for some of the other rides in the hill country.

Comment: 3/12/11 My riding buddy and I rode from Juntion, TX down 377 to 41 then south on 335 to 337 east to Leakey, Tx then north on 335 to 41. The East on 41 to FM 1340 east to 39 then 27 to Kerrville. We ate in Kerrville then headed south on 16 to 337 west back to 335 then headed north to 41 west then north on 377 back to Junction. We rode from 6:30 am to 7:30 pm for a total of 335 miles on Saturday. It was an amazing ride. Temp's ranged in the morning from mid 50's to upper 70's mid day. At the Frio Canyon Motorcycle Shop we stopped and talked with a group of South Texas American Legion riders riding the sisters also. When we arrived back in Junction we were tired,,, but couldn't wipe the smiles from our faces. I suggest any avid rider who wants a day of amazing riding and site seeing,, Ride the Three Twisted Sisters and Hwy 16 from Kerrville down to 377. A Truly Great Day of Riding.

Comment: A friend and I rode to Leakey from Houston on a Friday via multiple backroads so it was an eight hour trip. We cheked into a small cabin area called Cypress Frio Waters and went into Leakey for dinner and then went and got some sleep. On the second day we had breakfast, Rode the Three Sisters, counter-clockwise, had lunch and again rode the Three Sisters, clockwise, and called it a day. On the third day we returend to Houston. What a RIDE. The trip was just over 1016 miles with Great weather. It's now going to be a Bi-Annual event in my book. If you have a bike you really need to take this ride.

Comment: Excellent ride. My girlfriend and I rode 337 and 336 while in the area for Octoberfest 2010. We only had time for two legs of the run, but are already planning an April 2011 trip back to stay in Leakey and run the full route. This route is not for the beginner. Get familiar with your equipment, be safe, and ya, watch out for the cows...

Comment: Did the 3 Sisters once, a year & a half ago, and that just wasn't enough. I gotta go do 'em again soon. My favorite part was when one of four Motards tried to pass us; that's when they discovered that a bike is only as fast as its rider. The rest stop at Frio Canyon was alright too.

Comment: Danny and I rode the 3 sisters for his 65th birthday today, Memorial Day!!! It was gorgeous and fun!! Fuel up in Leaky, on 41 just east of RR336, or possibly in CampWood. My new Harley Softail Classic with its stage 1 performance upgrade was a wonder. I have been riding for 2 years and rode the sisters hard today. I advise you to carry lots of water if you ride during our hot season.

Comment: I was introduced to the "Three Twisted Sisters" by my Goldwing Club in 1995. Have ridden them every year since. My favorite is the roller coaster section of 335 heading from south to north. Also better views of the river and the canyon when going north. Great road, great views and Spring is the time to go when the wildflowers are out. Will be taking a group up there in April for our annual visit. When you're done riding the Sisters and you want to unwind, head south of Leakey and take 1050 over to Hwy. 16. Nice sweepers and nice views for a laid back ride. Enjoy them all.

Comment: Me and the wife started at Fredericksburg Labor day weekend 2009. Rode three sisters on Friday. The scenery was absolutly beautiful. Steep hills and sharp turns were abundant. I've Lived in Texas for 50 years and never knew how beautiful the hill country could be. When going from Fredericksburg it's a full days ride. Can't wait to go back!!!

Comment: Rode the Three Sisters two weeks ago (1 Jun 09). Awesome vistas with breathtaking sierras and valleys all over. There are various river crossings at multiple points. Needless to say that the Roller Coaster (335) and the Twisted Sister (337) are exhilarating but very dangerous at the same time, not the type of road trip for beginners or easily distracted folks. Coming from Comal County, the ride was a full day affair. I look forward to one day doing it again !!!

Comment: Went to the Hill Country March 7-12, 2009. I drive an 883 Sporster HD. Stayed @ D�Rose. The weather turned on us. It was cold & raining. Thank God for no accidents. We had a great time despite the cold & rain. We will defiantly plan another trip to the Hill Country to ride the Three Sisters again, only next time in dry conditions so that we can challenge our bikes and ourselves. The roads will give you a run for your money & not to mention the views of the hillside as an extra bonus.
