The Oregon Trail was the only land route for settlers seeking to move west and took approximately four to six months, in contrast to the sea route which could take up to a full year.
In the middle years of the 1800s many thousands of U.S. pioneers traveled west on the Oregon Trail. The trail ran from Independence, Missouri, to what is now northern Oregon, near the Columbia River. It was about 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) long. The Oregon Trail was one of two main routes to the Far West. The other was the Santa Fe Trail, which led to New Mexico.
