Dempster has nice views (not that Dalton doesn't), but as far as road goes it's mostly wide, flowing and boring. Dalton is a roller-coaster with ups and downs and turns. As truckers say: "there's a turn at the bottom of every hill, and there's a hill at the end of every turn." If it were paved there would be no reason to take Dempster.
Beware that on many of those turns on Dalton (and many of them named with names like Oh Shit!) trucks have no margin of error so you have to pull over and let them through or they will run you over. To avoid traffic the best to go there on Friday and get back before Tuesday when trucks start coming in.
