Best Answer

I think you're talking about the movement from Ohio/Illinois to Salt Lake City. It's just when Joseph Smith and his brother were Martyred Brigham Young moved the Church west to Utah.

In modern times, the word 'trek' among Mormons also often refers to a summer youth camp experience in which youth groups re-enact this event. Teens and leaders will dress up in pioneer style clothing and pull handcarts through the wilderness in order to gain a greater appreciation for what the real Mormon pioneers suffered for their faith. So if you hear a Mormon say they are "going on trek", this is probably what they are referring to.

Did the Mormon trail run in Council bluffs?

Council Bluffs (called "Winter Quarters" by the Latter-day Saints) was one of the primary settlements along the so-called Mormon Trail after the Saints were forced to leave Nauvoo, Illinois. As immigrants pushed westward, they would camp at Winter Quarters until they had finished preparations for the balance of the trek. Thus it can be said that the Mormon Trail did indeed run through Council Bluffs.
