A much easier route for you if you're concerned about Wolf Creek Pass (doable) is to take 285 south into New Mexico to 64 west to Chama (avoiding Hwy 17 into Chama) and continue on 64 to Shiprock, NM then north on 491 into Cortez.
Probably more miles... I didn't check. The West has mountains so no avoiding them unless going out of your way. The beauty is in the mountains. :)
Coming down Wolf Creek Pass into Pagosa Springs, CO is a long downhill. It's a very popular route with RVers and many do it but only you know how your braking confidence is with the trailer. Get into low gear before you even begin the downhill... don't try slowing down in the midst. Then use your braking sparingly with quick touches, not a constant foot on the brake.
