If you are wanting a pretty drive and not the fastest route, go like this:
Dallas to Wichita Falls to Amarillo (fast)
Amarillo to Dumas to Dalhart to Clayton NM (fast)
Clayton NM to Springer to Cimmarron (suuuper fast...i think between Clayton and Springer is about a 90 mile stretch of absolute no man's land with good road and little traffic. I've never seen a cop here and you should be safe driving > 100 mph)
Cimmarron to Eagle Nest to Taos (super slow but absolutely beautiful and senic...canyon driving)
Taos to Questa to Costilla to San Luis CO to Alamosa CO (somewhat fast and pretty damn senic...driving in open meadow with giant mountains to your east)
Alamosa to Breckenridge

Cool - thanks. Yeah, we're looking to take our time... and enjoy the scenery.
