In late summer of 2013 we traveled BC, YT, and NT in our Pleasure Way. Had a great time, some roads had a little construction activity 'cause they had a pretty rough spring with some flooding of road culverts in May-June. Whitehorse is definitely worth your while, take the bus and train down to Skagway while there and tour the old steam paddle wheel too. We had a most interesting time over in Fort Nelson, Fort Providence, Fort Liard, and Hay River in NT. Hay River didn't look like much when you drive into it, but on the northern end is a real great TP, probably one of the best kept TP's we stayed at, host was especially helpful, think her name was Brenda. Go to the Farmer's Mkt on Saturday while there, it's a hoot! Then coming south down to AB you'll start to see wheat, canola, and all sorts of agriculture. Spend some time reading up on the Great Slave Lake and the MacKenzie River to get an idea of the magnitude of this country. Yellow Knife was kind of disappointing, mostly because of the frost heaves in the paved roadway driving to it, but it was still quite pretty going out there with all the granite formations and lakes. Just take your time!
