Latter Day Saint Movement Routes

Latter Day Saint Movement Routes holds pilgrimage and migration paths specific to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, distinct from the Cross-Traditional Routes category reserved for paths no single tradition owns. The Mormon Trail, the roughly 2,100 kilometer route pioneers walked from Nauvoo, Illinois to the Salt Lake Valley between 1846 and 1869, is still retraced today in organized youth handcart treks that congregations run as a devotional exercise.
