The California Trail, Mormon Trail, Oregon Trail, and other western trails followed essentially the same route for much of the journey.

It was only in what is now Wyoming or Utah where the trails split off and went to their individual destinations.
The Mormon trail was important in several ways. First of all, the faith of those who had to endure the hardships was strengthened to the point where their trust in God and the truthfulness of their religion was solidified and they were able to become great leaders of the church.
