Pioneer Trek (it's not that weird)


Trek Family
For those of you who don't know what a trek is, you're probably wondering why I am standing with people I don't know dressed as a pioneer. The early members of the Mormon church were persecuted all the way from New York to Illinois, finally reaching a safe haven in Salt Lake City, Utah. To pay homage to the pioneers members of our church participate in a 3 day, 24 mile trek. We pull our belongings in handcarts and are separated into families. We also have to prepare our own food. Believe it or not, the trek was a great experience.
