Historical Landmark
The Trail of Hope represents the route thousands of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints took as they fled persecution, leaving behind their homes and belongings in Nauvoo. Running along Parley Street from Granger Street to the Mississippi River, these Saints then crossed the river and then faced the dangers of the unsettled West before migrating to the the Rocky Mountains.

    Incredibly powerful experience. Great presenters and an incredible tribute to the Pioneers' hope in the face of monumental trials ahead. I'm so grateful that they persisted to Utah and beyond.
