The Mormon Trail is the trail that the Mormon Pioneers took from Illinois to Utah between 1845 and 1870. It was different from other trails because it was used by people seeking religious freedom rather than riches or wild living, as most other western trails were used for.

What are comets tails made up of?

Comet tails are made of parts of the comet, such as ice and water vapor, pieces of rock and dust, and whatever else the comet itself happens to be made of that have broken or evaporated off due to solar wind. This is why the comet trail always trails in a direction that is directly opposite from the sun and not necessarily directly behind the path of the comet itself. A comet can also have two types of tails. A dust tail, and ion tail. The ion tail is made of electrically charged particles...ions. The center of a comet is called a nucleus.

Was the Mormon trail different?

The Mormon trail wasn't about seeking out new lands, it wasn't about looking for gold or riches from the land either. It was about a group of religious believers having to leave their homes in the dead of winter and seeking religious freedom. This is what makes the Mormon Trail and the journey on the trail so very different than other journeys.The only thing that is similar to it would be the Puritans leaving England seeking religious freedom as well.


Where did Mormon trail group originate?

Technically, they originated from all over the world. The first group that arrived in Salt Lake City left from Nauvoo, Illinois. Later groups came from various parts of the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Most groups met in St. Louis to organize and gather supplies before heading out on the trail, just as groups traveling other pioneer trails. As the Mormon trail was used mostly from 1847 until the transcontinental railroad in 1869, there is no one "mormon trail group".


When did the Mormon trai end?

The Mormon Trail is still in existence. Part of it is paved as highway, and other parts are just dirt trails through the wilderness. It stopped being a common route to Utah in the early 1860's, when the railroad came through. Today, the unpaved parts are used by thousands each year who want to experience a little of what their ancestors lived through. It is common for Mormon youth groups to have pioneer reenactments by dressing up and walking the Mormon Pioneer Trail. Occassionally, people will travel the entire trail, including the paved parts.
