They would usually travel about 10 to 15 miles a day. On rainy and/or muddy days, sometimes they only traveled a mile!

It took them about 7-10 days to travel what a car travels in an hour.

If you were traveling the trail with a covered wagon, it would take you 5-6 months. if you were traveling in a car for 8 hours every day at 62.5 mph, you could travel the Oregon trail in four days.

That's a good question with alot of variables. From Missouri to Oregon? The trail in each individaul state? Map out your own individual plan, and then use the mapping and directions feature in a search engine (Yahoo, Google, mapquest) to give you drive time estimates. Of course alot of it would depend on how many times you stop to pee!

Depends on the day. Some days they didn't travel at all, and others they traveled up to 25 miles. It depended on weather, terrain, rations, season, the size of the group, and wether they were using handcarts or wagons. Also, they typically didn't travel on Sunday snd would take breaks if someone was sick or missing.
