The road to Aguereberry Point is six miles of washboard gravel and is marked for high clearance vehicles. We asked Ranger Charlie if a CRV could take the road and he said we would be fine. He was right. The last 1/2 mile or so was narrow and next to a cliff, but was actually about the same roughness as the last two miles of the Charcoal Kilns road.

Once we were back on the paved road we decided we had had enough for one day of gravel roads.
