If you have even more minutes:
Try "kings mountain road" instead of 84.  It's a right turn before you get to
the twisty part of 84.  It's a much twistier drive.  Watch out for bikers if
your doing this on the weekend.  Coming down on 9 there's another left 
(don't know the name off hand) but it drops you down to steven's canyon road 
which will lead you to the steven's canyon resevoir. Again, very twisty.
