Going up California might be fun, but then, are the routes through the mountains fairly flat?
Otherwise, it looks like I go back east to New Mexico and turn north towards Denver.
Q: What are the flat routes?
I could be snarky and ask if you know what mountains are, but I won't do that. Instead, I will mention that it is tough to go from 875 feet elevation to 3120 feet elevation (of, say, Billings, MT) without going up.
But, yes, the closest to flat you are going to get is east of Quartzite, not west. And while it is a long way out of the way, the flatest route is probably east to Oklahoma City, then north to Fargo, ND, before heading back west. That will make the rise in elevation as gradual as possible. More reasonably, east through Albuquerque, then north through Denver.
