The mountain men were essentially trappers that went where the animals were. They would trap out all the fur bearing animals and have to move into new areas. That took them to places like Oregon. To some extent they were also seeking adventure and possibly gold. Eventually they would lead settlers over the mountain passes to Oregon.
