Our Founder
Meet Amanda Sinclair
Cold Fire Creek Dogsledding was founded by Amanda Sinclair in the winter of 1998. At just 22 years old, full of adventure, she started with 21 dogs and 3 sleds, managing, touring, and caring for all of them on her own.
What began as a solo adventure has grown into a family business that has touched the lives of thousands of guests from around the world.
“Go Big or Go Home.”

A Family Affair
Now that we have 2 daughters, life is fuller and busier than ever before! We have had to hire more staff over the past years to help fill Amanda’s shoes as she was divided between being a Mother and running the tours and caring for the dogs.
With our daughters now in school, Amanda is very excited to run the tours and be in the kennel full time once again!
See you on the Trail!
