Thinking about the Native American Guided Overnight Backpack - Anyone done this?

Hey all! I’m considering this experience for my partner's birthday. The idea of learning about Native American history while hiking sounds amazing! I’m curious about how challenging the hike is and if anyone has tips for first-timers? Also, what’s the food like? I’m a bit picky. Thanks!

Just got back from the overnight trip at Antelope Island!

OMG, what an epic experience! The views over the Great Salt Lake are unreal. Plus, our guide shared so many fascinating stories about the land and its history. The bison were roaming close by as we set up camp! Highly recommend this for anyone looking to connect with nature—it’s worth every penny (even though it was free!).
