Don't cross the Rockies, especially this time of year. Go South, at least to I-40, preferably to I-10. Should be able to pick your way along the valleys and never go above 8500'. I'll try to get a route from one of my neighbors who has done it a time or two in a PA-18. The Contenental Divide crosses I-10 about 20 miles west of Deming (which is 75 mi. WNW of El Paso) at about 4600'. The Rockies sort of disappear down here. Weather is better this time of year too.
