The mormon trail was important because it was one of the largest mass migrations in US History. It stretched from a previously large city named Nauvoo in Illinios and ended in the Great Salt Lake basin in modern day Utah. It also saved the mormon faith. If the mormons had stayed in Nauvoo, they may have been scattered or killed by angry mobs, who killed the Mormon's leader Joseph Smith in Carthage. Illinois.
They had been kicked out of other places they tried to settle, so they moved to a land that was mostly uninhabited so that they could practice their religion in peace.

As the Mormon trail was used by thousands of Mormon pioneers crossing to Utah between 1846 and 1870, important dates are nearly irrelevant. There was a near constant flow of immigrants on the trail. The first families started on the trail in the early months of 1846, stayed the winter in Nebraska, and arrived in Salt Lake City in July 1847. The trail went largely unused after the transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869.
