We did the Calgary - Yukon road trip last summer. Awesome trip.
Like Ruttiger said, Liard Hot Springs was definitely a highlight. Stopped in there on the way up and coming home again. A bear was causing a bit of stir while we were there, but the boys liked being guarded by the park wardens with their shotguns.
Dawson City was also great - a very unique place. I'm a history buff so loved all of the historical sights. Drop into the info centre as Parks Canada does some good tours around town. Take the ferry across the river and check out the paddlewheeler graveyard. Seemed to be some good nightlife as well (considering the town's size), but with a 5 & 9 year old in tow, getting liquored up wasn't really in the cards.
Can't wait to get back up there. Enjoy your trip.
