They took whatever they could carry, which wasn't much.
For a long time, they ate flour mixed with water (cooked).
They ate what they could hunt as well... but most of the time, they didn't eat much, which is why many died.

What trail did the 49ers take?
The Mormon trail and the organ trail
Why didnt the Mormons take the Oregon Trail?
The trail followed by Mormon pioneers mostly paralleled the Oregon Trail, at times merged with it, and at a few points diverged completely from it. The reason for following the general course of the Oregon trail was primarily because it had been mapped out by traders and trappers several years prior to their own exodus from Nauvoo, Ill. However, because of the adversarial relationship between the Mormons and many immigrants from both Illinois and Missouri (where an "extermination order" was still in effect at that time), the Mormon immigrants opted to follow a course that also followed the Platte river, but on the opposite side from most Oregon-bound parties.

What Did The California And Mormon Trail Search for?
The California trail was mostly traveled by those looking to get rich from the gold rush, or those seeking adventure in the wild west. There were also many families and individuals simply seeking a new home or a fresh start, but for many wealth and adventure were motivating factors.The Mormon trail was mostly for those seeking freedom from religious persecution. There was little wealth to be had in Utah, it was mostly hard work in a dominantly religious society, so few but Mormons cared to take that route. In later years, non-Mormon miners, railroad workers, and others seeking a new life also settled in Utah.
What trail did the Mormons take?
The Mormon Pioneer Trail is a 1,300-mile travelled by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1846 to 1868. The Mormon Trail extends from Nauvoo, Illinois on the Mississipi river, passing through Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Eastern Utah to Salt Lake City, Utah. The Mormon pioneer movement began in 1846 when, after having been driven once again by mob violence from their settled home, the Saints decided to establish a new home for the church outside the established boundaries of the United States. The trail was used for more than 20 years, until the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad in 1869. Among the emigrants were the Mormon handcart pioneers of 1856-1860. Two of the handcart companies, led by James G. Willie and Edward Martin, met disaster on the trail when they departed late and were caught by heavy snowstorms in Wyoming. Once the Mormons arrived in Salt Lake, some were asked by the Prophet Brigham Young to go settle other places such as Genoa, Nevada; St. George, Utah; Cardston, Alberta, Canada and many other settlements in the territory of Deseret.

How long was the Mormons Journy?
The Mormon Trail was approximately 1,300 miles long. It would take anywhere from several weeks to several months to travel it, depending on the mode of travel, the number of people in your group, and the weather. Keep in mind that most who traveled the Mormon trail did not originate from the beginning of the trail in the midwest of America, but came from futher away places such as Canada, New England, Great Britain, and Scandinavia. This meant that their journey was much further than just the 1,300 mile trail.

What was the route Mormons took from New York to Salt Lake City?
After the Church was founded in New York, most Church members moved to Ohio. Due to persecution, they moved from Ohio to Missouri to Illinois. Once they were asked to leave Illinois, they moved to Utah. The trail they took to Utah is now called the "Mormon Trail." Once the railroad was completed, converts from Europe and the Eastern U.S. could take a train from New York to Utah.
Do people travel on the Mormon Trail today?
Yes. Some of what was the Mormon Trail is now paved roads that are traveled daily. Other parts are not paved, but are traveled by various groups just wanting to have a pioneer experience. It is quite common for modern Mormons to re-enact their pioneer ancestors by dressing in historical clothing and walking segments of the Mormon Trial. This is just done for fun and in honor of their ancestors, each year there are usually a handful of news reports about people doing this.
How many years did it take to cross the Mormon trail?
The first Mormon Pioneer group took 2 years to cross the Mormon trail... this is mostly because there wasn't yet a trail and they didn't really know exactly where they were going. Later groups took several weeks to several months, depending on the number of people, weather, and mode of transportation.
