I live 30 minutes from the Dragon and other great Smoky Mountain roads/rides. So by comparison Three sisters is about a 2 compared to them. There are long sections of straights between curves, not as much leaning back and forth like in the Smokies. Scenery is nice, but you will spend more time watching out for the hundreds of potholes instead of looking at that. BUT... the Three sisters is BY FAR the best in Texas. The Hill country is great. And there are great places to eat some fantastic BBQ and listen to live Blues in this area. The last time I rode the Three sisters was in 2017. Road pavement was really rough and potholed. Lots of gravel and loose stuff on the roads. Curves are NOT banked and in many cases are blind. Huge pickups rounding curves cross the double yellow a lot. many vertical rises will give negative "g's" so be careful. Great area to visit and really FANTASTIC local people. Don't miss Leakey (pronounced Laykee).
