There is a road where I live that runs along a ridge that is about two thousand feet above sea level. It has drop offs on both sides of hundreds of feet with no guard rails to save you. Only riders with skill and guts ride it fast. It's a nice ride on a H-D, but a blast on a sport bike. I'm going up there today after lunch. The link below shows a teaser of it and that's the Pacific Ocean below the fog on the left.

The roads themselves are not scary, but the tourist traffic can make them scary.

Up in GNP, you get all kinds of people just stopping, and because there is no shoulder for much of the Sun can be freaky.

One Beartooth, you get a lot of people swerving across lanes to try to pause and get a picture. On that road, there can still be black ice before noon on any given summer day.

I've been on some scary FS roads on my KLR.....
