You could take the ferry in Haines and stop off at Sitka, Juneau, Petersburg, Wrangell, and Ketchikan. You would have to check on the best order for the ferry for these stops. The only way to see these areas is by ferry or plane. No roads connect the islands. Then on to Prince Rupert. I would then get off at Prince Rupert and take 16 to N37 to Stewart. From Stewart you can go to Hyder to see the bears at Fish Creek. The end of July, beginning of August is best for the bears.
If you don't take the ferry, the only road route is the Alaska Highway to 37 south to 16. The Cassier (37) is a nice drive if you don't take that route on the way up. It would give you different scenery from the Alaska Highway from Dawson Creek. I'm not familiar with the Milepost route.
We took the ferry up from Prince Rupert in 2008 and stopped at some of the Inside Passage stops. You can check out my blog - link in my signature.
