Ohiopyle State Park in PA has two roads serving it. One is marked "No RV's", the other is 20 miles longer. I obeyed the sign, and was glad I did the next day when we took the truck by itself down that road. It was narrow, it was steep, it had low rock overhangs sticking out over the road in a couple of spots. No place I'd want to go with the TT.
That road is a real zinger! There have been some that tried it with bad outcomes.
That's Kentuck road.
You should of seen the hill you're talking about 30 or 40 years ago before they widened it and relaxed a few of the curves sometime in the late 70s. Living in the area I have pulled TT's, other trailers, and boats up and down that hill all my life. It used to have a one lane bridge just above cucumber falls at a hairpin curve and those grades are approaching 40% or or more. It's just a matter of knowing what you're getting yourself into and paying attention, and a lot of luck that when you're taking some of those curves some moron is not coming the other direction who has no common courtesy or common sense. It is a zinger but I could show you quite a few others around that area that are a lot more challenging .
Most people don't understand that in the East a lot of the roads you're driving on were dirt goat trails 100 years ago, and were originally laid out way earlier than that.
