Colorado Wyoming Loop Route
I'm looking for suggestions for loop routes through these states, coming from and to Albuquerque, that do not involve very steep roads. We are pulling a 27 foot trailer with a gas rig, plus are rath...

Can't help a lot. But from Albuquerque, I would go I-25 north to Santa Fe, then US 285 north. I believe you can stay on 285 all the way to Denver without any major grades to climb. For sure at Poncha Springs you can take US 50 east to I-25. Either is more scenic than I-25 all the way from Albuquerque to Denver, and avoids Raton Pass (not a bad pass but the gasser may strain a little).
There are numerous ways to travel back down the west side to Albuquerque. But don't try US 550 in western Colorado if you don't want mountain passes.
