Traveling from Austin, Tx to Palo Alto, California

[snowbirder1]

We are traveling from Austin to Palo Alto California. I wanted to avoid as many high mountains as I can. Don’t know if we will be traveling on I-40 or I-10. Can anyone suggest a good route to avoid the least high mountains. Thanks for your help.

I-40 is smoother thru NM and AZ. than I-10 IMHO. AZ is the mountainous area (continental and Arizona divides are good climbs). Lastly, Flagstaff area is only area that's has snow possible currently.

Good luck and stay safe
