Do you want interstates or scenic beauty? :)
1282 miles from Albuquerque to Sweetgrass via 550 at Bernalilio, NM to Farmington, NM then 64/491 to Cortez, CO to Montecello, UT. Then 191 north to I-70 west to UT6/191 to Spanish Fork & north on I-15 - VERY SCENIC, no big mountains.
1307 miles from Albuquerque to Sante Fe on I-25 & picking up 285 to I-70 to Denver (eliminates a lot of the south Denver area traffic from Colorado Spring north) - very scenic
1337 miles from Albuquerque via I-25 to I-90 in Montana to Billings, Great Falls & to I-15 to Sweetgrass. - boring and semi trucks
