Techincally, you could say that the Mormon migration ended in the early 1900's, before World War 1. At this time, Church leaders asked members to stop moving to Utah and instead stay in their home countries or towns so that they could help build up the Church there.
They took some of the 'wild' out of the west and set up the first settlement in the west based around religion rather than mining, lumber, or fur trapping.
Unlike the pioneers who went west on the Oregon trail to find new land to farm & ranch. The Mormon migration was unique in that the Mormons were heading into the American West to find a safe haven from persecution. Mobs in Illinois had burned their homes, killed their prophet and had forced them to flee Illinois. The federal government didn't come to their aid, even though the constitution granted them 'FREEDOM OF RELIGION'. They had no other choice.
Over 70,000 people traveled the Mormon trail in a period of about 25 years, not counting supply wagons, missionaries heading abroad, or those leaving Utah. It would be impossible to know how many wagons in total travelled the Mormon trail.
The Mormon church was not even around in 1812That makes no sence Joesph Smith was 7 in 1812. he was 14 wen he founded the Mormon church._The answer is NONE. The LDS Church was established in 1830Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) believe that God lead them to Utah. Individual groups traveling by wagon or handcart between 1847 and 1870 were lead by experienced trail guides.Corrections to statements above:Joseph Smith did NOT 'found the Mormon church'. God restored the gospel to the earth through Joseph Smith.Joseph Smith received a vision from God when he was 14 years old. The Church was established 10 years later, when Joseph Smith was 24 years old.
Mining towns were different than Mormon towns mostly because mining towns were focused on getting rich and mining, and Mormon towns were focused on religion rather than money. Mining towns were more 'rough and tumble' or 'wild west' than Mormon towns, which were more peaceful and civilized and had a lot more women and children. However, in the west, some Mormon towns were also mining towns. Nevertheless, most Mormon towns were farming, ranching, or industrial communities.

The Mormons travelled west to escape religious persecution. They were looking for a place where they could practice their religion in peace.
It was not a migration they were forced out of every other state they tried to settle by the government!!!!

The Mormon Trail ended in Salt Lake City, Utah. From there, many Mormons were sent to colonize towns all over the west, while others stayed in the city.
Salt Lake City, Utah is considered the end of the Mormon trail.
