The Mormon Trail cloesly followed the Oregon and California trails much of the time. This is because there really was only one easy way to the west, due to the placement of mountains, rivers, and settlements used for gathering supplies.
The California Trail, Gila Trail, Mormon Trail and The Old Spanish Trail....
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.
Yes. When it was possible, the Mormon trail was on the opposite side of the river from the Oregon and California trails, to avoid any confrontation or argument over use of the trail and supplies (grass, berries, small game) found along the trail.
