Great fun and a lot to learn in Skagway
"We had a great time and learned a lot. We thought our guide Goldie Yawn (Rebecca) was perfect. We couldn’t have been happier.
It’s hard to pick our favorite thing since each thing had its own part. The Iditarod dogs, gold panning and the dredge were all fun.
Lunch was delicious too." - Greg P, 8/2022

Cast Member & Tour Guide | Alaska 360
For her second season, Rebecca performed in the wilds of the Last Frontier as a fictional 1898 character named "Goldie Yawn" for the summer. In period costume and attitude, she presented 3 - 7 hour tours daily for dozens of cruise ship guests from around the world. She performed for her guests at Alaska 360's Gold "Dredge Town" outdoor site and on the White Pass & Yukon Route train into Canada and back. Her narration covered a sweeping knowledge of Klondike Gold Rush history, improvisation, immersive theatre, singing, and renaissance faire techniques.
