Book Description
THE MORMON PIONEER TRAIL guide is provided for modern-day travelers who are making their own rediscovery of the Mormon Pioneer Trail and the wagon trains and handcart companies that journeyed along that trail. The guide is dedicated to the thousands who followed the pioneer trail west into the Valley of the Great Salt Lake and their Zion in the wilderness–and to those who were laid to rest along the way.

America is in the midst of a great western trails renaissance. Our historic trails are now becoming better known, more fully appreciated, more carefully preserved, and more clearly marked. In an effort to preserve the country’s historic and recreational resources, Congress enacte the National Trails System Act in 1968. Trails have been added to the system over the years, and there are now 20 national historic and scenic trails, including the Mormon Pioneer National Historic Trail.
