Final answer:

Not everyone who took the Oregon Trail ended up in Portland. There were other trails that branched off leading settlers to different destinations.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, not everyone who took the Oregon Trail ended up in Portland. The Oregon Trail was a 2,000-mile-long trail that started in Independence, Missouri, and ended in the valleys of Oregon, most notably the Willamette Valley.

While many pioneers followed this trail, there were also other trails that branched off, such as the California Trail, Mormon Trail, and Bozeman Trail, leading settlers to different destinations. Portland was a major destination for some pioneers, but not all.
