Best Answer

The pioneer trail was mostly traveled by wagon. Poor families would pull their belongings in a handcart if they couldn't afford a wagon and team. Many individuals walked or rode pack animals, as it was very bumpy, uncomfortable, and even dangerous to ride in the wagons over the rough terrain.
