Very vivid memory of driving in Utah and feeling like I may die

Hello! I’m curious if anyone can help me figure out where this memory may have occurred. It was the summer of 2003. I was driving from Kansas City to San Francisco. From Wyoming to California I was on i80. Before I reached Salt Lake City, I remember driving through what I believe were steep canyons. At this point it was the middle of the night, so it was completely dark, with the exception of my headlights. I remember the road was windy, narrow and very steep. There were no guardrails or anything. I was petrified that I was going to go off the road. It was one of the most terrifying driving experiences I have ever had. I still think about it quite often. In recent years, I’ve tried using google street view, but everywhere I’ve put a pin down, the highway looks completely safe, relatively flat and easy to drive. Was the interstate different 23 years ago? Is it possible that I got off i80 like to loop around Salt Lake City? Honestly I’m starting to question my memory. Thanks for any insight.
