I think she will do fine knowing that once we get past the first steep section it is mostly flat(ish)
Uhhhhh. . . depends on what you take "the first steep section" to mean. If you mean the Mist to Vernal Fall, you should know that the next section - whether the rest of the Mist or the Clark Point connector, is anything but flat, or even flattish. On the Mist, it doesnt get flattish until Nevada Fall, and its all switchers to 1/2 mile or so above Clark Point before it flattens out.
