And, I skipped Angels Landing. I decided to believe them when they said not to go if you were afraid of heights.
Angel's Landing - I'll let you choose to see it.... or not ;)

....But nothing prepared us for the 1972 roads over Andrijevica in Yugoslavia (now Montenegro). The road was being widened (?) and they would just plow a road out of the side of the mountain as they worked on blasting thru the mountain higher up. This was only one lane so you had to look ahead to see if anyone was coming and pull over where the road was wider to let the vehicle thru, or, chance backing up on the switchback, maybe uphill as well. I was ready to abandon the car and walk. The whole driving experience in Yugoslavia (and the rest of Europe) was absolutely beyond belief...
This sounds very similar to my white knuckled drive - they were working on the road at the time, I had to wait ~20mins at one point (took the pix). I blew up some sections of the landscape photo above (for scale) showing the approach road with the yellow sign, and a Class C coming down. Most of it was wide enough for two vehicles to pass, but there were several blind curvy sections like that shown about 1.5 car widths wide - you definitely would have had to back-up to a wide spot if you met another vehicle :E. Wasn't too bad when I was on the inside lane, but "soft shoulder" had a whole new meaning when I was on the outside lane. Fortunately, I didn't meet another vehicle through those tight sections..... but I did come across a pick-up truck towing a 25-30' RV trailer on a wider section :E.
