Most towns in Utah and southern Idaho were settled by Mormons, as well as many in northern Arizona, western Wyoming, eastern Nevada, California, southern Canada, and northern Mexico. Some of the more well known cities that were founded by Mormons are Salt Lake City, Provo, Ogden, and St. George, Utah; Las Vegas, Nevada; Mesa, Arizona; and Cardston, Alberta.

I don't know what you mean by founded, but the Mormon trail was the path the lds church took moving from Navoo to Salt Lake City Utah. Why? Because the prophet Joesph Smith, said so. He heard it from god that the saints should go there so they did.

Because the Mormon Pioneers traveled on it.

The physical features on the Mormon trail was that of total nature. Lots of brush, trees, wild flowers (depending on the time of year) there were rocks, hills, wholes on the ground the people had to walk across. In the winter in was freezing snow and rain and many died from hunger and weather conditions. They had to walk through rivers, summer and winter and carry everything they owned and hope they didn't loose it down the river. The people pulled and pushed hand carts. The trail was always dusty and dirty for them. They had wild animals to contend with and insects too.

The ship Brooklyn did not take Mormon pioneers from England to New York, it took them from New York to San Fransisco. It took five months and twenty seven days to make the journey, which left from Brooklyn Harbor on February 4, 1846, went around the southern tip of South America, then to Hawaii, and docked at San Fransisco on July 29, 1846.

The Mormon trail originally began in Nauvoo Illinois, near the Mississippi River, but it later covered all of the United States as more and more people used it to travel west.

Nullification crisis

The first amendment guarantees freedom of religion. However, the Mormons were persecuted for their religion everywhere they tried to settle and used the Mormon trail to flee the United States in an attempt to find a place where they could practice their religion in peace.

You typically cannot ask then answer your own questions here on WikiAnswers. If someone recategorizes a question, it sometimes appears that they have asked it, but this is simply a glitch in the program.

The Mormon Trail had several starting pionts, but the original group traveling from Nauvoo, Illionios to Utah travelled over 1,300 miles.

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.

The Mormon Trail was used from 1846 to 1869. Toilet paper was not invented as a commodity until 1857. It is unlikely Mormon settlers carried items like this with them, instead using leaves, cloth, corn cobs, or such other materials as were in common use for this purpose at that time.

What did Mormons bring on the trail? Well, provisions, their belongings. Of course they brought a lot of food, Jerky and bags of flour and such. Most of the time, they even brought their furniture in which they had to throw out of the wagon and leave behind later on their way.

Yes. Some of what was the Mormon Trail is now paved roads that are traveled daily. Other parts are not paved, but are traveled by various groups just wanting to have a pioneer experience. It is quite common for modern Mormons to re-enact their pioneer ancestors by dressing in historical clothing and walking segments of the Mormon Trial. This is just done for fun and in honor of their ancestors, each year there are usually a handful of news reports about people doing this.

Not too difficult. The wagons crossed at shallow places and they used ferry's to cross deeper waters.

The chores women had varied by their family situation, but for the most part women were in charge of looking out for the children and babies (although often the older children cared for the younger children), gathering firewood and buffalo chips for fuel (the children assisted with this), starting and maintaining the fires, gathering edible plants along the trail, cooking meals, preparing and preserving game meats shot by the men and boys, mending clothing, setting up and mending tents, mending bedding, mending wagon covers, helping to care for the animals (again children often did much of that), and driving the wagon teams or pulling handcarts - especially if a husband or older son was not present.

The Mormon people were chased out of some eastern cities by citizens who no longer wanted them there. They were robbed, beaten, their homes were burned, etc until they left. In Illinois and Missouri, the local government asked Mormons to leave when these types of things began happening in order to avoid further contention.

In an attempt to escape religious persecution, Mormon pioneers established many cities across the western United States. Nearly every city in Utah and many cities in southern Idaho and northern Arizona were settled by Mormon pioneers. They also settled cities in Nevada, California, Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mexico, and Canada.

The Mormon pioneers took the Mormon Pioneer Trail to Utah.

Not exactly. Similar to the Oregon Trail, many portions of the Mormon Trail have been swallowed up by development projects to accommodate a growing nation.

That said, there are still places where portions of the trail are still visible, including ruts from the wagons used by the pioneers. Also, a visitor center currently exists in Council Bluffs, Nebraska that explains the Mormon exodus very nicely.
