This
road is in the top five in the state, with everything from
scenery to twisty's all boiled down into a 38 mile ride.
This route will send you past the home of the Kerrville
Folk Festival, Koyote
Ranch Resort, and Love Creek Orchards. Then to Bandera,
TX where it's not uncommon to find a horse tied up next
to your bike! The ride takes you through a set of twisty's,
then dumps you into the beautiful Medina River Valley.

Highway
16 has it all in a short package, hairpin twisty's, scenery,
and sweeping turns along the river. Due to the number of
turns it can get some gravel in the turns due to cars running
of the road edge. It's never a good idea to ride the first
and last hours of light, in this part of Texas, due to high
deer populations.

Koyote
Ranch is a must see, this biker resort is brand new. With
everything from tent camping, RV sites and cabins to die
for. Koyote Ranch also has a merchantile and biergarten
with the best views in the State.

| 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." |

Start
your route at Kerrville,
TX which is about 50 miles NW of San Antonio, TX. Take
HWY 16 south out of Kerrville and cross the Guadalupe River
and continue on 16 heading all the way down to Bandera,
TX … about 38 miles.

Be extremely careful after dark due to deer. But it is an absolutely great road. Just be cautious.
