Ah, what you really wanted to know is, 'what is the worst route' so you could avoid it. :)
Well for starters you could take AZ89A north out of Sedona. Then take BIA roads across the Navajo Reservation, US550 north from Durango, etc. (I'm talking about a worst route for RVs here.)
The fastest route that Google Maps gives uses US160 to the NE corner of Arizona, US191 north to Moab, I70 east to Denver, and US25 north. The main problems with that is that I70 is the most mountainous route across the Continental Divide (Rockies), and Denver traffic. But I70 is also the most scenic interstate across the Rockies.
A close contender for shortest time is I40 and I25 all the way (except for some wiggles at the end depending on your exact Black Hills destination).
