Wind will be your major problem. The climbs are 2 to 4% but are long and straight. (The Hurricane never shifted out of 6th even when towing) The only long steep grade is going into the Rio Grande Valley through Tejeous Canyon, about 4% for three miles. If you are going west from Albuquerque the grade is know as "9 mile" hill. It is not steep but very long and a 2,400 ft climb.
In Albuquerque be sure to visit "The National Museum of Nuclear Science and History". In its Heritage Park is RB-52B -52-0013 credited with dropping over 60 nuclear devices (bombs) - in testing.
