Pendaries Village Valley View, Rociada Live Cam

Wooded mountain slope at Pendaries Village near Rociada, New Mexico, with a wide valley and layered ridges spread out below. Open meadows show as pale clearings among the dark forest on both sides of the frame.

Pendaries Village stands at roughly 2,400 metres in the Sangre de Cristo foothills, and the valleys of Rociada and Gascon lie to the north and north-west on the map. Maestas Creek drains the mountains west of Rociada. Long forested ridges and a flat-topped mountain line close the horizon.

The camera is fixed. A tall pine stands in the centre of the frame, and scrub oak in the foreground turns yellow and orange in the autumn view. Cloud shadows change the colours of the slopes and meadows through the day.
