I suppose you could say the Mormon Trail ended in Salt Lake City, but from there it split into smaller trails. Most Mormon Pioneers arriving in Salt Lake City didn't stay there for very long - they would be sent to colonize or work in other small communities throughought the west. This was needed for survival, as the resources they needed for survivial could not all be found in one place. Some moved south to grow cotton and raise silk worms, others moved to more fertile land for farming, and others moved to ranching, logging, or mining communities. Salt Lake City was mostly for manufacturing and industry.
