I can only speak for the eastern half of your trip. I ran this last summer and yes the part that is not the Scenic Highway is twisty in places and considerable traffic. The Scenic Highway is easy as it stays pretty much at the highest elevation. I was really disappointed with the maintenance of the Scenic Highway although the road surface is good most of the way with a few bad spots. There is one place where one entire lane collapsed and the fix was warning signs that appeared to be there for years. There was little traffic and the scenery was OK, not as scenic as one would expect.
This weed patch is one lane of the road:
