The Mormon Trail was traveled almost constantly for over 20 years. As the trail goes through the center of the United States, the weather was typically hot and somewhat dry in the summer, and cold and snowy in the winter.
This depends on the season. In the summer it was usually hot and dry with sporadic heavy rain that could flood out the trail. In the winter it was freezing with deep snow.

The Mormon Trail and the Oregon trail followed the same route through much of the Midwest, until the Mormon Trail split off into Utah through Wyoming. No doubt the two groups exchanged help and supplies.
