The Rocksrings Loops, Texas

This double loop out of Rock Springs includes some of the best roads that the Texas Hill country has to offer including sections of the 336, the 335 along the Nueces River and the 674.

There’s something about pointing your front wheel west out of San Antonio that feels like you’re riding into a different world. The traffic thins, the land stretches, and the pavement begins to twist. The Rocksprings Double Loop, starting and ending in Rocksprings, delivers some of the best riding the Texas Hill Country has to offer.

Distance: 413.78 km

Total Ride Time: 5.5 hours

Elevation Change: 2,212 meters

This is not a casual cruise — it’s a rider’s ride.

The First Loop – FM 674 & Wide-Open Country

Heading south out of Rocksprings on FM 674, the road immediately settles into that Hill Country rhythm — long sweepers, gentle elevation changes, and endless sky. The land feels raw and untamed. As you approach Brackettville, the terrain opens up, giving you space to roll the throttle and feel the engine stretch its legs.

It’s quiet out here. Just wind, motor, and miles of Texas.

Carving Through 335 Along the 

Nueces River

The western side of the loop brings you north on FM 335 — one of the legendary “Three Sisters.” This stretch dances along the cliffs above the Nueces River, and the riding becomes technical and thrilling. Tight corners stack one after another. Elevation drops sharply, then climbs just as fast.

You’ll find yourself leaning deep into blind turns, trusting the road and your instincts. Every overlook tempts you to stop, cut the engine, and listen to nothing but the river far below.

This is where the ride becomes unforgettable.

FM 336 – The Roller Coaster

From Leakey north toward FM 336, the road tightens even more. FM 336 is relentless — steep climbs, sharp descents, decreasing-radius turns. It’s technical, demanding, and incredibly rewarding.

You don’t just ride 336. You commit to it.

Each elevation change — contributing to that 2,212-meter total climb — reminds you why this region is considered some of the best motorcycling terrain in Texas.

FM 55 & The Inner Loop

Cutting back toward Camp Wood, the inner section of the double loop offers a brief reset before reconnecting to the outer arcs. The pavement winds through ranch land and rugged limestone hills, keeping the rhythm alive but allowing a breath between the more intense sections.

Then you roll back toward Rocksprings, tired in the best possible way.

The Rocksprings Loops aren’t about speed — they’re about flow. About leaning into corners framed by canyon walls and green-covered limestone. About climbing out of valleys into sunlight and watching shadows stretch across the curves ahead.

Five and a half hours passes quickly when every mile demands attention and rewards confidence.

By the time you return to Rocksprings, your tires are warm, your shoulders are loose, and your mind is clear. The kind of clear only the Texas Hill Country can give you.

This double loop isn’t just a ride west of San Antonio.

It’s a reminder of why we ride at all.
