I40, AR to AZ
Anyone on here familiar with this route? How are the mountains? Weather this time of year? Pulling out of Arkansas tomorrow and I've been told to drop South to I10. Any advice would be greatly appreci...

Imho the worst mountain is the downgrade going into Albuquerque. (And upgrade headed east)
A month ago I didn't find I-10 through Arizona / New Mexico noticeably better grade wise across the continental divide. Yes, the elevation is a bit lower on I-10
The forecast for the next couple days doesn't expect anything precipitation in the mountains on either route. Temps will drop into the upper/ mid-20s in western New Mexico on I-40 and mid-lows 30s on I-10 - in the forecasts are correct.
If I were heading to Las Vegas tomorrow from Dallas, I'd go I-40, but be ready to head south on I-25 at Albuquerque if the weather forecast changed.
