Well if you just google it you get this route.
What you dont see here is that there is some pretty high altitudes and steep grades along the section between La Junta, CO and Albuquerque. I know, I have driven it. So I think I would avoid that.
This, might be a good second choice, there are few steep hills and curves on that route. I have driven most of it too. But the section between Holbrook and Mesa can be dodgy in winter.
But if you are really concerned about weather and possible snow problems This would be the absolute best route to avoid snow and steep roads.
If I was worried about driving in bad weather at all this would be the route I would take, plus, you get to see more of the country.
The only thing I would add would be weather permitting go to his first Google map link and choose the US 54 W and I-40 option. Should be a four to five day trip and check the 5 day weather forecasts along the route. In New Mexico overnight at Tucumcari and again in Gallup
