THE ROUTE

Skagway to Emerald Lake

A straightforward day drive from Skagway brings you to the turquoise shorelines of Emerald Lake — a primary waypoint on this self-drive itinerary and a natural focus for photo stops and short walks.

THE CROSS-BORDER STOP

Carcross, Yukon

The route continues across the border into Carcross, Canada, a small community that serves as a cultural and dining stop on this day rental — note that seasonal and route limitations apply.

THE FLEXIBLE DAY

One-day freedom and local dining

The Chevrolet Traverse rental is arranged as a single-day package that gives you the freedom to pick ideal stopping points and sample local dining along the way.

What the day feels like

You collect the Traverse in Skagway and spend roughly a ten-hour day behind the wheel, moving at your own pace between coastal views, inland lakes and the small towns across the border, using a compact guidebook of suggested stops to shape the day.
