The Mormon trail was important in several ways. First of all, the faith of those who had to endure the hardships was strengthened to the point where their trust in God and the truthfulness of their religion was solidified and they were able to become great leaders of the church.
The Mormon trail became important to other frontiersman as they traveled to California during the gold rush. Many small Mormon communities along the route became an important place for travelers to rest and prepare for their journey.
