As the Mormon trail was used by thousands of Mormon pioneers
crossing to Utah between 1846 and 1870, important dates are nearly
irrelevant. There was a near constant flow of immigrants on the
trail. The first families started on the trail in the early months
of 1846, stayed the winter in Nebraska, and arrived in Salt Lake
City in July 1847. The trail went largely unused after the
transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869.
