Mormon Pioneer National Historic Trail
Plan Your Visit

National Historic Trails recognize diverse facets of history such as prominent past routes of exploration, migration, trade, communication and military action. The historic trails generally consist of remnant sites and trail segments, and thus are not necessarily contiguous. Although National Historic Trails are administered by federal agencies, land ownership may be in public or private hands. Of the 11 National Historic Trails, nine are administered by the National Park Service, one by the USDA Forest Service and one by the Bureau of Land Management.


The Links & Resources page will provide helpful information for visiting trail interpretive centers, a listing of suggested reading materials, locating related federal, state, and local information centers, and links to state travel and tourism offices.
