Best Answer

The California Trail, Mormon Trail, Oregon Trail, and other western trails followed essentially the same route for much of the journey. This is because it was the easiest and safest route and trading posts and already been set up. It was only in what is now Wyoming or Utah where the trails split off and went to their individual destinations.
