Weather on the Oregon Trail was brutal most of the time due to either too much heat, too much cold, a blizzard, rain, or another type of storm. These were especially brutal if you had been on the trail for a long time. The journey takes 4-6 months.
how much money does it cost to attend the university of Oregon
Outfitting the wagon. It was very expensive and cost several hundred dollars. People didn't earn much so it took a bit to get the money.
food and water were so important on the Oregon trail because there wasn't much food or water. for the first 100 miles, there were a few river, but after that, there were no river and it never rained.
Parts were, parts weren't. Much of the Oregon Trail was nice open grassland with wild grasses that grew 2 to 3 feet tall and were very good feed for the oxen that pulled the wagons.
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. It's also likely that some Oregon Trail travelers may have taken a detour through Mormon settlements in Utah to rest, wait out winter weather, or gather supplies.
