Trail of Hope — Attraction in Nauvoo

This is a trail with a number of interpretive markers extending from historic Nauvoo to the Mississippi River to commemorate the Mormons leaving Nauvoo to head west after being essentially expelled by the people of Illinois. Great views of the Mississippi River and the Nauvoo Temple. Beautiful walk. Part of the Nauvoo Historic District, a carefully restored early Mormon settlement on the banks of the Mississippi River. Well worth the visit and with the number of buildings they have restored you could spend multiple days here, though you could see a lot in an afternoon. Well...

Such a neat experience to walk where the Saints walked as they waited to cross the Mississippi River. It's in the evening so slightly dark and lanterns are used to lead the way. The Service Missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints do an excellent job of portraying different Saints and their stories!...

It was so cool going along the trail and seeing the quotes of several pioneers who went on this trek. It is such an experience to walk to the end and see where the pioneers left their home in Nauvoo. It is a little sad but is so spiritual. Nauvoo is so cool to visit if you want to see the history...
