Pioneers traversed the United States looking for adventure and a new life. The Mormon pioneers were also looking for a peaceful place to settle without any nearby hostile neighbors. Many came by covered wagons pulled by ox carts. During the period of 1847 to 1869, over 60,000 Mormon pioneers crossed the plains to the Salt Lake Valley. The trail followed by these sturdy pioneers can still be seen in spots today.
