Travel from seattle to chicken alaska

We are planning a trip next year to Alaska. From Seattle WA. to Alaska. How are the roads in Canada and campgrounds? On the maps looks pretty empty. Can anyone tell me about this route? Thank You any information would be helpful.

    I would make my way over to I-15 and go up through Calgary and Edmonton to the Alaska Hwy. At Whitehorse, go on up to Dawson City and the Top of the World Hwy to Chicken. If you have time, take a small side trip on up to Eagle.

    I would NOT go up through Whistler!

    TOTWH is mostly gravel and is susceptible to the weather (especially rain).

    Good luck and have a great trip.

    There's a Canada/Alaska board that has lots of discussion on this topic. I'd suggest browsing there first. Then ask specific questions.
