Well if you want to go to the Yukon River, you would need to fly into Fairbanks preferably, and then you need to rent a car at a special place that will allow you to take the car up there. Once you rent the car you drive a couple hundred miles to the Yukon River. You can stop buy, get some food, since there is nothing else within 200 miles. And then you can camp there or keep going. If you keep going you can go to coldfoot, Wiseman, or deadhorse. Wiseman, where I have been, has some good off trail hiking around, beautiful scenery. It's on the outskirts of gates of the arctic, which is very nice. Lots of hiking and wilderness near Wiseman, town of 14 people. You can also drive to the tundra, a flat place which is very mushy to walk on. Expensive trip though. Pic related, wilderness outside Wiseman.

I recently hit up Alaska - it was awesome.
We went during June when the daytime was nearly 22 hours. My fiance and I.
We started in Juneau and stayed in a hotel in our first night, hit some bars in town and just hung out. Then, the next day I rented a car and we drove around the town, we hiked up the big mountain instead of taking the lift - it was awesome. Then we drove out to Mendenhall lake with glaciers and waterfalls and camped. We used a Kammock double hammock with a mosquito net and a rain fly. Most double hammocks suck, I would recommend Kammock, it was plenty big enough and comfy with a thick sleeping bag and blanket.
We continued driving up the coast and went to this island with a ton of Eagles near the fairy.
Then took the fairy to Haines then drove though Canada. Beautiful country - not much to it, pretty much empty.
Went back into Alaska (Tetlin? Lake) and camped. Then drove onto Fairbanks. Next we took off to Chena Hot springs which was awesome. The Fairbanks museum/information place hooked it up with all we needed to know about hiking around there too.
Then drove to Denali, camped.
Then onto Anchorage, camped on those badass little islands South.
Then flew to Nome and stayed in a little hotel for a couple of nights. Nome is weird, small, and expensive. I enjoyed the nature in the rest of Alaska much more.

We did all this in like 7 or 8 days.

Good luck!

Forgot to mention until you said something about Gold - Hope, Alaska south of Anchorage is a beautiful little gold rush town. (So is Nome).
there is "Hope River" I believe we camped next to it was beautiful!
If you go in the Summer, and you are camping, bring eye covers to wear at night :)
