Carl Dec
Owner|Guide
Originally from the “Jersey Shore” Carl quit “Wall Street” 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 many other outdoor activities that Utah has to offer. Kayaking, climbing quickly became passions and in 2003 he started Red River Adventures and began rafting operations. Climbs rock, ice, mixed, alpine, ski tours, rafts and kayaks with equal vigor.
