Depends on what pioneers you are talking about...but, most people would be thinking of the pioneers crossing the great Plains, before the trains took over long distance travel in the late 1860's. They started usually in St. Joseph, Mo, west of St. Louis. They then went to The Sweetwater river in Wyoming, where they had crossed the Con'tl divide. They then turned either southwest to California, or northeast to Oregon. Travel was at first along the Platte river, where it not only marked the route, but provided water, green grass, and firewood. Travel took 3 to 5 months, about 8 miles a day.
