We like the South Canol BUT it isn't a highway. It is a dirt road, and often a single lane road, especially on the hillsides. Usually we meander at about 20 mph on it. Here's some pictures http://yukonsights.ca/SouthCanol.html
The drive into Keno is here. If you like remote, little mining towns, then you might enjoy Keno. We camped at Five Mile Lake Yukon Gov't campground and then drove just the truck to Keno.http://yukonsights.ca/SilverTrail.html
Aishihik Road is an okay drive as far as the campground. I don't recommend towing past the campground because it gets rough, narrow, muddy, wet, rocky, whatever. We used 4x4 in a few places, in October after a dry summer. There isn't much at the end of the Aishihik Road now, most of the buildings from the old airport are now owned by the First Nation there. There are a few houses at the end of the road that are also part of a First Nations community. http://yukonsights.ca/20131019_AishihikRd.html
Have you driven into Atlin BC? It is a nice drive. Not as scenic as the drive into Haines BC, but a nice drive. The Yukon gov't campgrounds along the Atlin Road aren't suited to large rigs. It was a bit of a struggle with our 25' fifth wheel.
