They ate what they brought with them, meat, fruit, and vegetables and what they could catch like buffalo. There is this one story of a womon who, when collecting buffalo chips to start a fire, met a man. The man told her to follow him, she did, and he led her to a cave. Inside the cave there was a large amount of food. When she turned to thank the man he was gone, obviously and angle sent from God.

A lot of salted meats, to keep them preserved, I know. I'm thinking there was a lot of fried flour and nuts as well. Grains kept well, and were widely popular... as well as beans.

What was at the end of the Mormon Trail?

The Mormon Trail ended in Salt Lake City, Utah.

How did the Mormon trail change the American west?

The Mormon Trail didn't change the American West, because the Mormon Trail was next to the Oregon Trail. Another answer: The Mormon Trail followed the Oregon Trail until it hit Fort Bridger, Wyoming. There the Mormon Trail split off down toward where Salt Lake City, Utah is today. The largest change the Mormon Trail did to change the American West is bring a large influx of people into the American West. People who were willing to try to settle the desert areas in Utah and Idaho that no one else wanted to touch. It also helped solidify a trail that lead was a main stopping point for people headed to Oregon or California. People traveling on either the Oregon or California Trails would go to Salt Lake City and resupply before continuing their journey west, usually rejoining the trails around the southern central part of Idaho right near the Idaho-Utah border.
