∙ 12y agoThe trail was actually created by explorers and fur trappers much earlier, it was named the Mormon trail after the Mormons began using it, although it was the same trail as the Oregon trail and various other western trails until it split at Fort Bridger to go into Utah. At Fort Bridger they took the Hastings Cutoff, established by Lansford Hastings. They then took the Donner-Reed trail to Big Moutain, then cut their own road down the canyon into Salt Lake City.
The first Mormon pioneers to travel the trail were in a group of 143 men, three women and two children. The advance scouts were Orson Pratt and Erastus Snow.
