How long does it take to drive from Albuquerque to Colorado Springs?

What town is good to stop for the night along the route from Albq to Colo. Springs? Looking for budget but not bleak. October is expected time of trip.

1. get directions on google maps, it'll give you distance and trip time. it's less than a 6 hour trip
2. for a family of four it took us about 6 hours we've done the trip a couple of times. taos is always good
3. Why do you want to stop? It's a fairly short drive right up the freeway. If you want to just tour the sites, stop at Santa Fe or Taos. Or, drive a bit off the freeway at Walsenburg and go over and stay at the Cuchara area. It's about 45 minutes off the road but quite pretty. If you want to break it up about half way, then Trinidad or Pueblo. But you really won't need to stop.
