Of course I would go up through Colorado, but maybe you would prefer not to go that way. I prefer the mountains to the plains so I would stay on 287 to Amarillo, then through Dumas and Dalhart to Raton and pick up I-25.
In fact we did that a few years ago when we went to Custer, SD. We had stops in Colorado Springs and Estes Park which are always worth a visit.
I'm not recommending, just commenting on my own preference. We didn't have a minutes trouble going through Denver, but others have not been so fortunate.
We just got back from a trip that included Cheyenne Mountain State Park at Colorado Springs and Mueller State Park just up the road near Woodland Park and Divide, CO.
It just so happens that for reasons I need not go into here, we had to drive all the way across Kansas (East to West) and the plains of Eastern Colorado, so my prejudice was reaffirmed.
