SCENIC RIDES

Enjoy some of the most breathtaking views Texas has to offer.  Always one of the top-rated drives in North America commonly referred to as the Three Sisters or 3 Twisted Sisters, Highways 335, 336, and 337 has its beginnings in the town of Medina.  This 100-mile loop is, without a doubt, among the best, most challenging motorcycle rides in the state. The route follows canyons and climbs jagged, steep hills; the roads offer many tight, twisty curves with shear drop offs alongside and not much in the way of guardrails. In one 15-mile section, there are approximately 65 curves! Even the most experienced riders will squeeze that handle just a bit tighter...
