Platte River & Sweetwater River.
A famous route west for pioneers was the Wilderness Road, made by Daniel Boone and others.
Obviously it's because the Mormons traveled the trail.
The pioneers traveled on Hacker's Trail, better known as The Oregon Trail.
The Mormon Trail is the trail that the Mormon Pioneers took from Illinois to Utah between 1845 and 1870. It was different from other trails because it was used by people seeking religious freedom rather than riches or wild living, as most other western trails were used for.
Some hardships of the Oregon trail was weathering. During thunderstorms a half a dozen people would die from thunderstrikes. Also accidents the wagons they rode were not safe if someone were to fall in front of one then the big wheels would run them over and they would die. Mostly children would die from accidents.
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.
