True.

Both the California Trail and the Mormon Trail followed the Oregon Trail for much of the route and then branched off to head to different destinations—the California Trail turning west (commonly near Fort Hall/Snake River) toward California, and the Mormon Trail diverting southwest toward the Salt Lake Valley (via South Pass/Fort Bridger).
