I see one post mentioning a trip to the Arctic Circle on the Dalton Hwy, I would advise against the Dalton. A better choice is the Dempster access just south of Dawson City,
the road is in better shape, less 18 wheeler traffic and you get to go thru Tomestone park, great hiking, fantastic scenery. Stay over night in Tomestone park right behind the visitors center.
Go to Dawson City on the way up or back, our favorite little town in the Yukon.
Stay in the provincial camp grounds rather than down town gravel parking lots, the one on the North side is close and you can foot traffic on the ferry to town.
Or stay out by the airport quiet after 9 P.M. but you will have to drive back to town, both are good.
