Danger: Critical comments following!

She should have stopped instead of moving so far

She did not have a signaling capability

She had little to no survival equipment

She separated from her buddy


The positive:

She did keep her head very well

She had skill and confidence

She kept track of direction and had knowledge of the surrounding roads and towns

The environment and weather were in her favor

A small pack with basic equipment and supplies, including signaling, would likely have resolved this in the first day.
