Nothing to worry about you gain a little but then drop down into the Rio Grande Valley. All the elevation changes are gentle and hardly noticeable. A lot more gentle than the I-40 drop into Albuquerque, although that is not bad, but it is just a little steeper and more sudden. US 60 has easiest drive to I-25 from Clovis.
You gain about 2500ft over 200 miles between Clovis and Mountainair and then loose 1500 between Mountainair and Belen over 50 miles dropping down to I-25.
Which way are you going on I-25? North to Belen take the NM 47 turn off, if going south then stay on US 60.
There is an RV park at the junction of 60 and I-25. It is a horse oriented RV park and I have never stayed there but it does not look to bad for an overnight.
Will be going south towards I-10 and then onto Phoenix area.
