I would probably not believe my story if I were reading this. There were some tighter curves on the road that I did brake for just to be safe as I always do on an unfamiliar road.
It was wound TIGHT for sure! I was over 3k a bit but not by much. My redline starts about 3,200rpm. If I remember correctly I had to have cruise set at least 5mph lower than the speed I felt was safe.
I am so glad I had plenty of downhill experience before this grade using cruise control or I most likely would have been heating up the brakes!
We were heading from Hanksville, UT Blondie's Famous Burgers to Bryce canyon. Maybe Hwy 12 it was a two lane road.
