Like the Oregon trail the California trail was a long overland route for those who wished to move west. They both followed the same river valley's and trails for most of the trip until they arrived in Idaho, Wyoming or Utah, where they would turn off and go to their respective destinations. Both were popular from the early 1840's until the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad in 1869. As you probably guessed, they were both similar in length, both being roughly 2,000 miles long.
