Introduction
The Trail of Hope is an additional Pioneer Trail experience. Markers along Parley Street quote from pioneer journals and histories spanning several years from 1846 to 1869. As a group, they are a powerful statement of the faith of individuals to move forward along the Pioneer Trail and begin a new life in the Rocky Mountains.
What to Expect
The Trail of Hope is a self-guided experience. You are welcome to walk the path and read the interpretive markers. If you follow the Trail of Hope, you will end up at the Mississippi River, Pioneer Memorial, and Exodus to Greatness.
During the summer, actors help bring pioneer voices from the past to life in an evening performance.
