Pioneers on the Mormon Trail took essential supplies to sustain their journey, including food items like flour, sugar, and meat, as well as tools for farming and building. They also brought personal belongings, clothing, and often livestock for both transportation and sustenance. Additionally, many traveled in covered wagons or handcarts, carrying their families and possessions across the rugged terrain to seek religious freedom in Utah.
