As you drive north on Glacier Highway soon after passing Auke Bay you are considered “Out the Road” until the end of the road thirty miles further at Echo Cove. Just a small number of residents live in this area and this number gets lower the further out the road you drive. As you head out the road there are opportunities to stop at Auke Recreation, part of the Tongass National Forest, Lena Beach, Eagle Beach, or the Shrine of St. Therese. In addition there are many opportunities to hike along the various trailheads including Herbert Glacier.
