To be clear, the Toll road didn't go to China Gardens. It went straight from Darwin down into Panamint Valley, and followed relatively the current Highway 190 route to Stovepipe Wells.
I just stumbled across this video that has some good shots of those stair steps you describe and that I remember from my jeep drive over this road. It stars about 40 seconds mark. The vid also covers the China Garden and sadly shows these goofs illegally walking their two dogs up the Darwin Falls trail. I'm sure that you're thrilled to know that those dogs may have shat in the PSR water supply!
