Pendaries Mountain Skyline Panorama

A High-Country Skyline

This camera looks out from Pendaries Village, a mountain resort tucked into the northern New Mexico high country, across a vast forested basin. The view spans, left to right, Thunder Ranch, Maestas Canyon, the village of Rociada and Gascon Canyon.

Forests of the Sangre de Cristo

The foreground is dominated by ponderosa pine woodland that blankets the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the southernmost reach of the Rocky Mountains. Ridge after timbered ridge recedes toward a soft horizon of distant summits.

The Pendaries Setting

Perched above Rociada in San Miguel County, Pendaries Village is a quiet mountain community and golf resort surrounded by rugged canyons and national-forest land. The elevated vantage offers an expansive, uninterrupted sweep of the surrounding wilderness.

What You Can See

Watch shifting light sculpt the layered ridgelines, follow the contours of the canyons, and take in the immense scale of the New Mexico backcountry from a single sweeping vantage point.
