Zion National Park? The scenic road? You're just being a girl about that one. It's paved even! Run the dams across Horsetooth Reservoir in Ft. Collins, that's more frightening than the scenic loop through Zion. Tempting to go fast at some spots and that's always where people die. Easy to drive off the road on the side of the lake and it ranges from not so bad to hellish drop offs onto rocks. There are lot's of roads like that in Colorado.
Run, Bogus Ridge in Idaho... above Bogus Basin. At some points you are totally on the ridge of the mountain with drops on both sides. Now, I hate heights. Especially off-canter stuff with nasty drops on either side, but you have to get past some of that fear at some point or all of your offroading is going to be scenic driving on dirt roads.
The easiest trail at Moab, still has NASTY drop-offs, I was white knuckling half the trail. What is it... girbralter bridges to black arch or something like that? Part of the beginning of that one you're practically looking out the driver's window at a 400 ft drop with quads trying to pass you...
There is some scary stuff, but that picture you showed just makes it look scary. From the road, it's beautiful.
Nut-up... if it's paved - YOU ARE FINE!
