Here's answer to week's question
(From page 2)
The first pioneer wagon train to enter Salt Lake Valley was the John Bidwell-John Bartleson party of 1841 bound for California. They traveled near modern-day Corinne, and went around the northern end of the Great Salt Lake. In 1846, five groups of overland pioneers - though not all with wagon trains - traveled through the Salt Lake Valley en route to California. The last of these was the well-known Donner-Reed party.
