We introduce a dense and a dilute loop model on causal dynamical triangulations. Both models are characterised by a geometric coupling constant g and a loop parameter α in such a way that the purely geometric causal triangulation model is recovered for α = 1. We show that the dense loop model can be mapped to a solvable planar tree model, whose partition function we compute explicitly and use to determine the critical behaviour of the loop model. The dilute loop model can likewise be mapped to a planar tree model; however, a closed-form expression for the corresponding partition function is not obtainable using the standard methods employed in the dense case. Instead, we derive bounds on the critical coupling gc and apply transfer matrix techniques to examine the critical behaviour for α small.
