This question is a two part question that has no answer. The Mormon Trail is commonly known as the trek westward from the state of Illinois to the (now state) of Utah which began in 1846. The Prophet Joseph Smith was assassinated prior to the trek westward in 1844. Therefore Joseph Smith never traveled the Mormon Trail.

∙ 10y agoJoseph Smith, first prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (or Mormons) led the church in the establishment of the church, and then its migration to three different westward headquarters. The only "trail" that Joseph Smith himself travelled was from Kirtland, Ohio to Clay County, Missouri during the campaign known as "Zion's Camp." In this instance, the prophet led about 200 men, women, and children in an effort to reclaim land from which Latter-day Saint settlers had been driven.
However, the prophet was assassinated before the church emmigrated to the Great Salt Lake valley in 1847. Hence Brigham Young led the exodus instead of Joseph.
