What NMDriver posted. East to West 375 (easy drive), 54 North to MLK to round-about then 404 to I-10. We do this trip every year going to ALB. Only difference we stop at Fort Bliss Famcamp and visit the German restaurants and bakeries in El Paso.
Safe travels, Bill.
This is the way to go. If you need fuel or supplies get off at Montana. There's a Walmart a half mile east of the loop with an easy access fuel station. Share's the parking lot with a Lowe's. Several fast food restaurants too.
You will hit a couple of lights on this route at the exits. You didn't say if you are coming from the east or west.
From East. If you take spur 601 over to 54 there is a light when you get off but this gives you a ramp to get on 54. If you follow 375 around to 54 its a quick exit and get to the right to turn onto 54. It can be hard to get over depending on time of day. There will be a light where you turn onto MLK.
From the west. As you come south on MLK bear right and be ready to cross over to the on ramp for 54. Stay on 54 south and take spur 601 back to 375. This lets you avoid the light at Trans Mountain/Woodrow Bean.
From the west.
