The best route to the Canadian border is the one that would be good for you. Do you plan to do any siteseeing in the lower U.S. before crossing the border?
There are many, many border crossings you could take - it just depends on what you want to see first.
For general beauty and perhaps visiting some of our great national parks, I'd recommend you cross in western Montana. Then you could work in any of the southern Utah national parks or Grand Teton, Yellowstone or Glacier national parks.
Purchase online the 'Milepost' for history as you travel and all the maps you map need. Get Mike and Terri Church's book 'Alaskan Camping' which includes Canada and the Yukon. Purchase the TourSaver 2/1 Coupon Book before your trip. Those are the only things you'll need for planning once you cross the border.
Have fun planning!
