You made it back to Loop 14. Welcome! Are you sure you're not lost? It's a joke, friends. It's a joke. Loop 14 is a world away from RCP's relatively mild field spins. Get ready for roots, chutes, tight turns, and true climbs. This area feeds water into Rowlett Creek, so it's steep in spots. You'll have to traverse the draw twice. Getting across can be a bit tricky due to the armored crossing and steep bank--and when it's damp, whooo-wheee! How good is your fakie game? The draw crossing earns Loop 14 a black diamond rating. You can always walk the creek, if it's just too sketchy.
