Not US-89A but I did take US-89 from Flagsatff to Mount Carmel
Junction, UT after the CORSA Convention in the UltraVan. The worst
road of the trip was UT-14 east out of Cedar City (up Coal Mountain).
It says no RV or trailers but I was driving an ULTRA VAN.

Smitty Says; We have gone out of our way to travel some recommended and
"not recommended" roads just for the experience. Jim I seriously would not
recommend either of these for the Ultra. The scariest was the road up to
the peak of Mt Evens. No shoulder and the roadway crumbling away 3 ft into
the asphalt. Passing opposing traffic is by the Braille method. The
toughest was Redman Pass. If I remember right it was 3 hours wide open in
low (PG) gear with a max speed of 15 mph. That can't be right but it is
what sticks in my mind.
I recognize that I can't go on forever, so I am passing my banner on to Tim
Shortle to put every mile in the US behind him. I always considered signs
saying NO Trucks Or Trailers to be nothing more than a challenge.
