About the Area
MedFit at Gratitude Ranch sits in the Tenaja area of the Santa Rosa Plateau; Tenaja encompasses approximately 6,400 acres of spacious rural land in the Santa Rosa Coastal Mountain Range between the city of Murrieta and the Cleveland National Forest.
​
The Ranch is uniquely positioned near one of Southern California’s most treasured ecological landscapes, the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve and the surrounding La Cresta countryside. This protected natural area offers an extraordinary example of California’s biodiversity.
​
The Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve protects thousands of acres of rare and diverse habitats, from oak woodlands and coastal sage scrub to native grasslands and seasonal vernal pools. (Its vernal pools are home to unique species, including fairy shrimp that live in these seasonal wetlands and exist nowhere else on Earth.)
​
With miles of multi-use trails, the Plateau invites activities like hiking, birdwatching, horseback riding, and interpretive nature walks, perfect for mindful movement, trail runs, or restorative walks in nature.
Throughout the surrounding La Cresta hills and plateau countryside, community trails provide endless opportunities for exploration, trail running, horseback riding, and nature connection.
​
Close by, natural features like Tenaja Falls in the Cleveland National Forest offer a refreshing destination for hikers and outdoor explorers seeking the beauty of seasonal waterfalls and lush canyon terrain.
​
Just a short drive from Gratitude Ranch is the beautifully restored Murrieta Hot Springs Resort, a historic Southern California wellness destination known for its mineral-rich geothermal waters. With dozens of naturally heated pools and a relaxing spa atmosphere, it’s a perfect nearby spot for rest, recovery, and rejuvenation.
