When planning my flight from Palm Springs, CA, to Denver, I have decided

I am assuming that you are going to go to LVS VOR then head north, or
to ALS VOR and then through LaVeta Pass to Gosip. Both ways are
easily passable with your Bonanza.

Why go from LVS back westward to ALS?

Reread the comment, there was an "or" between the two possible routes.
He has two options from ABQ. Either go up the valley over Santa Fe to
Alamosa and then over to PUB via the LaVeta pass and Gosip
intersection, OR he can cross over the mountains there and go to LVS
and then up V611 through PUB (which is actually the preferred route,
and there is more scenery on the east side). There is also a third
route but it sounded like he want to stay away from the mountains as
much as possible, which is a good thing for someone who isn't familiar
with mountain travel.

How about ALB to LVS to Trinidad and straight north just east of the
foothils? Not to many more miles that way. If the winds are nor due
westerly, you should have a smooth ride and better options as well.

Just curious, but what airport are you planning on going to in Denver?

Yes!
