Can get Rav4 up to river crossing, higher than report from SummitPost would seem to indicate. Then 4x4 ideal. Summer conditions. On this route, hiked up basin to Jones-Niagara saddle. When you start to climb the saddle, stick to the left... I followed a social trail up on hikers right which was quite loose. Trail on hikers left was obvious on my decent and much more pleasant. To get this right, just go due West when close to starting the ascent to the saddle and you'll run into it. THANKS to only other hiker on the mountain today for all your help! And on your birthday, nonetheless. Hope it was a good day!
