Winter + Mountains + I-40 = Newbie questions
We are contemplating a trip in a general January/February time frame. Two possible segments, both on I-40, have us a bit concerned. One is in California, Arizona, and New Mexico. The other is in Tenne...

Unless there is something specific you want to see that is I40, I would take I10 to where it meets I20 in western Texas and then on to the east coast, or where ever your destination is. You will still have to watch the weather, but there will be minimal hills and no mountains except for around Tucson and some in New Mexico, about 4600 feet in elevation, not the 7000+ you will find on I40.
I can tell you this much, that I40 through Arkansas is terrible. Potholes and bad sections that will rattle your fillings loose and will screw up a front end alignment. We live in Arkansas and I refuse to drive I40, we go out of our way and take side roads to get around I40. I don't know what Arkansas does with its highway money, but it does not spend any of it on maintaining I40.
Best wishes and be safe in you travels.
