Escape to The Texas Hill Country

This city escape, northwest of San Antonio, is a fun foray into the Texas Hill Country. The route is nicely curvy, features some great state and regional parks, and even a nod to the Celtic druids along the ride. 

SR 39 sits at the midpoint of the escape and is one of the Lone Star State’s best motorcycle roads. It’s a mildly relaxed version of the famed Three Sisters farther west. 

Undulating hills, varied vegetation, lakes, and cool rivers highlight the scenery on this escape. Texas Hill Country sits in pleasant contrast to much of the state’s open desert topography.   

Aside from the heavier traffic of the San Antonio metro area, the route is a smooth ride with light to medium traffic. Traffic does pick up a bit in the Kerrville area.
