The Mormon pioneers helped later pioneer groups traveling west by planting vegetables along the trail and setting up 'winter quarters' areas. In Salt Lake City, they provided supplies for people going further west to California for the Gold Rush.
They set the trail. They made paths and trails to make it possible for others to come after them. Hope this helps you out. Gwen Brewer
The Mormons traveled west in wagons, with handcarts and later by train.
Indians, cold weather, mountains, lack of food, illness, ect.
The signifigence of the Mormons moving west was for them to escape religious percsecution
Utah was settled by Mormons.
People flocked to California because they were seeking gold and riches, and gold had been discovered there. The Mormons changed the landscape of the west by moving there and establishing cities and towns in areas that were previously uninhabited.
The great American West!
Mormons were traveling west in search of religious freedom. 49ers were traveling west in search of wealth.

Persecution. The Mormons were chased out of Missouri and asked to leave Illinois... so they moved further west, where there was nobody to kick them out.
People are always going west. For example: Disney Land! CALIFORNIA! People still are going west. Hope I answered your question!
