The Element is a great car.
Again, AAA and you are good to go. I just spent almost a month in the PNW and Northern California driving through each place you mentioned. They are the sticks no more.
Yreka, were I used to turn off to drive to Happy Camp to put rafts in on the Klamath River, is now a big town. Placerville, where I spent many fine days headed down to Chilli Bar to run the American, is also a big town. I could go on.
She will have zero problems getting whatever you buy repaired. Even though my Daughter has graduated from college, I still make sure she has AAA with the 150 miles tow option.
Edit: Again, I drove the area you mentioned a lot this summer doing drone work. I also used to work in the area running rivers before the dinosaurs expired...so just make sure that whatever she gets she knows how to put chains on the car and has a winter kit with her. I also always carry, even in the rental, lots of water and snacks in the summer.
I am headed back the first week in October and will prepare for the weather, just in case.
