     Who said that putting them in the air had to be free? Near the mountains 
they could run into an inventor who has a perfectly serviceable zeppelin or 
flying contraption which has been repossessed by a local plutocrat/corrupt 
sheriff/rail gang or whatever you like. This inventor would be more than 
happy to give the group and their cart free passage over the mountains (or 
even as far as the Maze, if you like) if they could only steal his vehicle 
back for him.

     Or you could say that there is one serviceable road through the 
mountains, but it happens to be occupied by a gang of murderous hillbilly 
cannibals. Whatever works.
