TREK to ZION tour
Winter Quarters to Salt Lake
Join us for a remarkable tour starting at Winter Quarters and ending in Salt Lake City. Fly to Omaha where our deluxe, air-conditioned bus will take you in comfort to important pioneer history sites following the Mormon Pioneer Trail route from Winter Quarters through Nebraska and Wyoming to Salt Lake City. This tour is created by and hosted by a team of veteran tour guides and expert historians who will weave stories from the journals of those who took this journey on foot and by wagon as they dreamed of building Zion and living in peace in the Rocky Mountains. These humbling tales of miracles and blessings by far surpass the heartbreaks of this arduous journey--you'll be amazed at and inspired by the sacrifices and great faith of our pioneer ancestors. This amazing heritage belongs to EVERY member of the Church!
Tours are conducted in the spirit of an uplifting gospel doctrine class taught at the sites where early church history events occurred. Each day begins and ends with a hymn and a prayer on the bus. The days are filled with inspirational experiences never to be forgotten. You will return with a greater understanding of the immense value of the restored gospel and humbled at the price paid by the men and women of the past to lay the foundation.
SUMMARY OF SITES: Winter Quarters - Kanesville Tabernacle - Chimney Rock - Scotts Bluff - Fort Laramie - Guernsey Ruts - Independence Rock - Devil's Gate - Martin's Cove (optional handcart pull to the cove) - Rock Creek Hollow - Rocky Ridge - South Pass - Fort Bridger - Echo Canyon - Big Mountain - This is the Place State Park - Salt Lake City Cemetery - Ensign Peak.
Very nice lodging (leave your tent and sleeping bag at home); delicious meals and a deluxe chartered bus (no wagons this time!) are arranged for your comfort and convenience.

NOW IT IS YOUR TURN to experience these sites and the tales of remarkable pioneers who exhibited great faith in every footstep. See the vast plains and immense Rocky Mountains they traversed. Feel their emotions as we share their stories of courage, faith, sorrow, and joy.
