Are you interested in seeing anything along the way or just getting there quickly?
If scenic, take US 412 to Springer, NM-58 to Cimarron, then US 64 to Taos. Spend a few days in the Taos area (we stayed at Taos Valley RV Park), then take the "High Road" to Santa Fe. You will drive very scenic, paved, 2-lane NM-518 and NM-76 through Trampas, Truchas, and Chimayo to 4-lane, controlled access US 285. The High Road goes through the area where "The Milagro Beanfield War" was filmed and those towns have wool-weaving and rug shops that you might like to visit. We just took that route last fall and really enjoyed the drive and the scenery.
