Going up the mountains was dangerous due to lack of water, rough terrain, and the risk of injury. Going down was also dangerous and could result in wagons gaining too much speed and careening out of control, leading to potential disasters. Harsh weather like snow, rain, and cold temperatures added further challenges for pioneers.
