I would not plan on getting to the Alaska Highway until 5/20/18...cold and many places will not be open assuming that they will open again. You can drive the Alcan at 60 mph until Whitehorse putting many businesses out of business.
You are going to have to make some decisions on what you are looking to see, how fast and far you want to go and what you're interested in. Also, how long are you intending to be gone? Then start marking on a map some of the things you want to see. Read the Milepost or other travel guides to get an idea what each point of interest is about before you finally decide. A thing to keep in mind is that you'll never be able to see it all on one trip. If you're only making one trip the choices are harder. Leave some for next time.
