Campbell or Alaskan Hwy?

Traveling in a group of 3 truck campers and none of us mind gravel roads. We are more into nature than tourist things but do like museums. Plan is to stay where ever we are when at diner time so really don't plan on campgrounds. We should be hitting the border about last week of June or a little later mid July if that matters.

So far getting from Watson Lake to Carmack, which road would you take and why?

    Given the choice, I think I would choose the Alaska highway for the first time. There are several excellent museums at Whitehorse, and the road is in significantly better condition (and much more heavily traveled, relatively speaking). I haven't actually been over the Campbell Highway, though, so perhaps take that with a grain or two of salt.

    If you're returning by more or less the same general route, maybe you could consider going one way and returning the other.
