First off, I really enjoyed Dawson City - yes it's super touristy but it has a nice charm about it and the scenery is beautiful. The Eldorado Hotel has great food.
I think there are stops worth making - old silver mining towns are a little ways off the main highway (Mayo and Keno). If you need to stop for food, the Moose Creek Lodge is great. Five Finger Rapids is a nice place to get out for a stretch but there are a lot of stairs - so consider that before you start heading down.
When we did it, I really enjoyed just taking our time and pulling off when something looked interesting - we made the drive part of the adventure rather than just pushing through it.
