The people on the Oregon Trail wanted to go the Oregon territory, or what is now Washington and Oregon. Why? because the letters and rumors of Oregon Territory's rich and natural beauty. The people wanted to go west for many reasons; to explore, to get free farmland, and to build homes, farms, towns, and after a wile, cities. The trail was also the fastest way to Oregon.
Because the Mormons used the Oregon trail as far as it went in the direction they wanted to go. The Oregon trail was a well-established trail that had plenty of good drinking water all along the way.
