Taos NM to Las Vegas NM - Route NM 518
We are in Taos and heading to Lubbock in a couple days. Looks like NM 518 from Taos to Las Vegas would be the shortest first step of the trip. Any input on the grades/condition of the road. We are...

That's your best route. Some simple grades around Sipapu, but nothing to get excited about.
In any event, do not be tempted to follow US 64 over to Angel Fire and then 434 or 434/120 south. The US 64 part to Angel Fire is fine; the 434 and the 434/120 routes south of Angel Fire are a bad idea for RVers. (The state has scheduled a widening of Hwy 434 south of Angel Fire, and when they do, it'll be great for RVs. But not now, not yet.)
