I've taken my IS250, 4 people, full of luggage high up hills into high elevations and had no issues. Just gotta put it down into a lower gear to climb so you aren't flooring it all the time. Did the same trip with a ct200h, 4 people FULL of baggage completely and had 0 issues too. You will be absolutely fine in a 350, have a safe trip! 
I wouldn't bother, cops know people like to speed in those areas where there "should be" no cops. That's where they hand out the big tickets 
Last thing you need to do is be on a road trip and get a big ticket, or worse, have the car impounded lol
Thank you
I saw the road on google street view and really liked it. But maybe you can tell me if there cops, or i should not worry much about them on the high mountain roads. When I arrive the at the point where there are no cars or very rarely, then I'm gonna press the gas till end and see what the car can do!!

Heading North I see. Great choice. Still boring as a spirited mountain drive. Specially after the 2010 Olympics, most of those roads have been twinned. The 350 has a lot of torque to handle up hill easily. You may want to use the paddle shifter to downshift a little sooner than the long gear that the ECT wants to keep, that's it.
