Alot of hard word and innovation! The Mormons had to start completely from scratch in a place with very little water or building materials. They built homes from mud, dug irrigation ditches from the mountains, and ate whatever they could find. They cooperated with the Natives in the area and learned from them the skills that they needed to stay alive.
The Mormons traveled to Utah and settled in the Salt Lake Valley. They established the city Salt Lake City.

They didn't really make a settlement on the Great Salt Lake, as there is swampy marshland surrounding the lake for several miles. The first city they settled in the area was Great Salt Lake City, later renamed Salt Lake City, which is about 20 miles from the nearest shore of the Great Salt Lake.Salt Lake City and other Mormon settlements in the area were a part of a territory the Mormons named Deseret.
The Mormons went from Palmyra, NY to Kirtland, OH to Navoo, IL to Salt Lake City, UT
