The Westward Expansion. Many people moved to California and Oregon for 2 reasons: 1. Gold Rush 2. Oregon Trail
The Oregon Trail, the Western trail, the mormom trail and the California trail during the gold rush in 1846
The California Gold Rush, Mormon Pioneers, and Oregon Trail were three major movements in the Westward Expansion. They all involved large groups of people traveling to the west in search of a better life.
1) They wanted free land 2) They wanted some gold from the gold rush 3) They wanted free religion
The phone number of the Gold Rush Trail Foundation is: 415-981-4849.

Gila Trail
If you are talking about the American gold rush (the 49'ers), I believe they would have taken the Santa Fe trail across New Mexico to the West.
