1. On which part of the trail are mountains or foothills most likely to make the trip difficult?

2. What three rivers would you see if you traveled from Buffalo to Albany?

3. Why might settlers follow rivers after leaving Albany?

4. What is the approximate length of the trail?

5. Along which part of the trail are settlers likely to travel faster? Explain.
