Best Answer

Echo Canyon was the main route into the Salt Lake Valley. This is the route that the Mormons expected the army to take to come into the Salt Lake Valley.

The army attempted to go around the Wasatch Mountains and come down into the Salt Lake Valley from Idaho via Soda Springs, but after several days of slow and exhaustive traveling that expedition turned around (Oct. 1857).

What historical events led to hostilities between the U.S. and the Mormons?

The short-lived war between the US and the Mormons occurred when the US government sent a non-Mormon, unelected appointee to the territory inhabited by the Mormons and announced without discussion that this individual would be the governor. The Mormons refused to accept the imposition of an unelected and unsympathetic government. The US sent the Army to impose the government's will. The Mormons prepared to fight back, and Army arrived, negotiations resolved the conflict, and no hostilities actually took place.
