Tenaja on the Santa Rosa Plateau - the Horsey Side

Welcome back to La Cresta Life.

We've been to the other side of Tenaja where you can see the ocean

Today, we're going back to Tenaja the horsey side.

Welcome to La Cresta life. So we're here on the horsey side, as opposed to the ocean side that we saw the other day. Then were going to take a little ride and check out the beautiful horses and the beautiful equestrian landscape.

Tenaja is known for its kind of wide-open ranches, especially right here in the Tenaja valley. We're going to go that way toward the Cleveland National Forest. There's a trailhead there that you can hike and there's actually a waterfall. It's pretty famous it's called Tenaja Falls. We're not going to go there today, but it is a beautiful place to hike and in this wide-open valley.

You're really having a good time up here. The hills above we have been there before, that is La Cresta highlands.

We have the Cleveland National Forest Trail system. That's where we are right now will find it when we go to other trailheads Riverside Parks. So we've got kind of The Best of Both Worlds going on at Cleveland forest and our County Park.

Meadow Oaks on the Santa Rosa Plateau

Welcome back to La Cresta Life. Today, we're in Meadow Oaks.

Welcome to La Cresta life. So technically we are in Tenaja. Tenaja is not an HOA, it's a community service district. So, there's a little pocket here called Meadow Oaks they have their own gate, it's guarded with a real life person and it's a little loop, a small community that you can see the map on my website, but we're going to take a little cruise around here today and let you see Meadow Oaks.

So I did say a little more manicured, right? Definitely a little more formal, a little more traditional. It's all 5-acre minimums, just like the rest of the plateau. Remember we have 5 HOAs and one community service district. This one is an HOA with the minimum 5 acres and the common thread here is that they tend to have a lot of ponds. Not sure why, but in Meadow Oaks, people have their own private ponds.

Well, that's it for Meadow Oaks. We've got a little fun we got some ponds, we got some friends back here. Yes, they have horses in Meadow Oaks, and here they come to say hello.

Anyway, thanks so much for being with us. We'll see you next time on La Cresta Life.
