A typical wagon train traveled about 10 to 20 miles per day, depending on the terrain, weather, and the health of the oxen or horses. On better roads and with favorable conditions, they could cover more ground, while rough terrain or adverse weather could slow their progress significantly. The pace was often adjusted to accommodate the needs of the group, including rest stops and maintenance of the wagons.
