Carl Dec

Owner | Guide

Originally from New Jersey, Carl quit “Wall Street” and NYC and moved to Salt Lake City in September 1997 to, as his wife puts it, ski. After the first 100-ski-day winter, he discovered the many other outdoor activities that Utah has to offer. Climbing and kayaking quickly became passions, and in 2003, he started Red River Adventures and began rafting operations. Red River added climbing and canyoneering trips to the mix in 2005, followed by skiing trips in 2016. Carl climbs rock, ice, mixed, and alpine, ski tours, and rafts with equal vigor.

Everything about this organization gets an A+. From my first outreach where I was met with friendly communication and excellent customer service (this was not the case in all of my Moab excursion interactions), to every moment of the trip, this was an awesome experience. Nathan was a great guide. He was knowledgeable, pointing out things along the way to teach and inform. He was super friendly, offering to take photos of the group in great spots. And he was fun! The trails were beautiful. I felt safe in my rappelling. He even gave some town recommendations on the way back. Awesome experience. Can't recommend enough!

This was my girls’ (10 & 7) first rafting experience and they’re ready for more! Due to high winds it was the most I’ve ever had to paddle, but that’s obviously no fault of anyone. We did the fisher’s towers half day trip that was recommended on their website for ages 5+. It was very tame and if your kids are adventurous I would consider looking at some other sections. That being said, our guide Jonathon did a wonderful job keeping the kids entertained as he challenged them to a couple of games. They enjoyed sitting on the front of the raft and how much fun they were having was apparent in their similes. Thank you!

Had an amazing trip up to the Longbow Arch with Mary as our guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable about rope systems, climbing, and the area’s history. She was very encouraging and helped one of our team fight through her fears and repel 140ft on her first time. Our whole group rated the trip as. 10-10.

Chase guided my fiancé and I through the Rock of Ages Canyoneering hike and he was a wonderful guide! We were new to rapelling, but we felt safe with him the entire time. He was also very upbeat, polite, and provided us with great recommendations for the area for our visit. Would book again with Chase!

Chase was a wonderful and informative guide. We had a phenomenal time with the difficult hike, which was a blast. We got excellent coaching throughout the process. A great time, beautiful views, but maybe not so much for the faint of heart!!
