The fact that she arrived at her destination *exactly* at sundown on both days
makes it clear she was traveling at a slightly different pace up vs. down. We don't know if she was ascending faster or descending faster because we don't know the time of year.
However, because she leaves *exactly* at sunrise and arrives *exactly* at sunset implies a precision in the question beyond "close enough". If by "at the same time on both days", the question means "during the same minute" then I agree with your close enough answer.
My answer assumes a higher degree of precision.

that's not the question though, it's considering 1 person's movement on the trail on 2 days, not 2 people's on 1 day

I get your argument and agree with it, I just think you're fundamentally changing the original question
