Salt Lake Trail.—The history of this trail through Kansas is substantially the history of the Oregon, Mormon and California trails (q. v.). Emigrants for the Salt Lake Valley and California went by way of the Oregon trail to a point near Soda Spring, Idaho, where the road branched off and the name of Salt Lake trail properly applies only to that portion from southern Idaho to the Salt Lake valley.
