Most informative little guide!
By Donna Dastrup
In 2001 my husband and I traveled from Nauvoo IL to Salt Lake City, using this book as our guide. We followed the actual Mormon Pioneer trail as closely as is possible today, gaining a much greater appreciation of what the Pioneers experienced. There are still horrible infestations of mosquitoes along the Platte. Gravesites along the trail are stark reminders of the difficulties. Spending a night at Mt Pisgah where the farmer's dog joined us is a special memory. We recommend this book to anyone interested in following the Mormon Trail. Because of our experiences we returned to Sixth Crossing in Wyoming two different summers to serve as missionaries for the handcart treks taken by the youth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Mormon Pioneer Trail
By Elly Book Buff
This is a really great map, showing the trail, the modern roads to get to the scenic, historic points of information.. This looks like a good adventure for a family vacation.

This book is very accurate and interesting, with lots of beautiful, useful pictures and maps as well. When planning a historical trip, this book helps you figure out what places to visit and where to stop for markers, exhibits and roadside pullouts. Or you can just read and look at the pictures and learn a lot.
Product 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.
