Mormon Trail Study Proposed as National Scenic Trail
Senate records show Bandstra proposing a study to add the Mormon Trail to a nationwide National Scenic Trail system. The Interior Department estimates a $16,000 cost and about six months to determine the historic route. He notes the 1846 marking by Brigham Young’s expedition and about 15,000 Mormons crossed Iowa that summer toward Salt Lake City.
