Unless she's very fearful and anxious, it could help her learn to trust you during times of uncertainty, stress, strange scents and many strange creatures moving all around her, teaching her you are her dependable, protective rock and valuable to her security, raising your value to her. If she hates it and becomes scared and very anxious, fearful, she could attach that reaction to your actually causing the scary situation, in her mind. But if that happens, you can just immediately leave and hold off that for a while until she's more dependent, trusting of you B4 trying it again and then, once she really values you, she'll probably see the trips as a reward you provided her.
