Why do we go on Treks?
From 1856 to 1860, about 3,000 Latter-day Saints pulled handcarts across the American plains to gather in the Salt Lake Valley. These pioneers trekked more than a thousand miles through heat and cold; through mud, sand, and sometimes snow; and through rivers and over mountains. They faced trials that required great faith and perseverance.
Trek gives us a chance to focus on what the handcart pioneers went through by pulling a handcart for a few miles over the space of a few days. It provides opportunities to strengthen testimonies, build unity, do family history, and learn gospel principles. We hope trek can also help us all learn more about who we are, what we can become, and from where to draw our strength.
