That's pretty fun.

Beats an Interstate Interchange being the highest point in Kansas.

It could be the Nebo Loop Rd [015] which was recently resurfaced, or Hwy 35 between Francis and Tabiona. There are a couple of far horizon views that look similar to the east side of Timpanogos, but it's not quite right. It could also be Hwy 191 between Duchesne and Helper.

I'll need to track this one down. I thought I knew every great 2-lane road around here!

My apologies as I think I confused the roads. The memory isn't as good as it used to be. The wife and I just drove the Alpine Loop last fall (September 26th to be precise) and the visual reference in the video very closely matched what I recalled from that short morning road trip. I looked at my pictures taken at the viewpoints and I believe that road in the video is the road behind my wife in this picture, Summit County 114 that splits East about midway off the Alpine Loop and drops into Summit County. Since I don't have my wife's permission to post her picture I blurred her face. But they had finished repaving that road the week before we were there and there was still a road crew at the bottom finishing up. It was perfectly black and perfectly smooth, just like this video. I suspect they probably filmed it within a few days since the fall colors look almost the same. To the left of the picture you can see the road bend around the closest hillside. I believe it was this road the video was filmed on. Our picture was taken close to the summit. And yes, the road was like butter in my Jeep. I am keenly aware I was driving the wrong vehicle.

Hi Whoops, just saw your follow-up on this. I think you may have found it! Those reviewers operate out of SLC so that road would be pretty convenient for them to reach yet perfect for filming.
