IMPORTANT MOTORCYCLE ROAD CONSTRUCTION UPDATE (updated Nov 2021): The road/bridge construction that began blocked part of the Three Sisters route in Sep of 2020 concluded in April of 2021 so all should be good now. Here is the blog that covered the construction update for more information!

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

Drive Enjoyment

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.

Tourism Opportunities

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."

This was my first ride on my first tourer, a BMW 1200LT. My brother (BMW R1200GS) joined me. I was born and raised in Texas but had never been south of Kerrville, which is where the ride begins. Because we rode from Dallas we decided to begin in Kerrville, ride south to Medina and then west on 337 to Camp Wood, north on 335 to Hwy 41 and then took 41 back to Kerrville, not riding the 3rd leg (336) of the route. I'm hoping to not find out that 336 is the most scenic of the 3 legs. Since this was my first ride I don't have a lot to compare Twisted Sisters to, but considered both the ride and view incredible and am so glad that we spent the 2 days to see this part of Texas.

I never get tired of riding the three sisters. To keep it interesting we change up the order and direction but it's always a good time. Right now there is part of 337 that is closed due to bridge repair but we found a detour via 470 and 187 that still enabled us to ride the vast majority of the loop.

Rode the sisters twice in a five year period. Both times it rained the whole ride. The roads were good but the rain really took away from both experiences.
