39-year-old Kristin Little's vehicle was found approximately 1,000 feet down the mountainside.
Due to difficult terrain and the setting sun, officials say they were not able to recover Little's body until Saturday morning.
Officials believe that Little was driving north on Thumb Butte Loop Road and veered to the left, going off the road and down the mountain.
This crash remains under investigation. A week after the crash, officials asked the public to come forward with information about the crash.
