Local youth re-enact pioneer handcart journey, Community Spotlights

For youth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, going on a Mormon Pioneer Trek experience is an opportunity not to be missed. Youth from all over the United States travel to the Mormon Handcart Visitors Center in Martin’s Cove, Wyoming for several days of camping, pulling heavily-laden handcarts while wearing pioneer clothing and getting first-hand experience about the difficult journey many of their ancestors made while crossing the plains to the Salt Lake Valley. Recently, however, youth and adults in the Glendive Stake (comparable to a diocese or district, in this case, covering all of eastern Montana and the Watford City area of North Dakota) recreated this event on a ranch near Baker.
