For Brigham Young, it wasn't really about finding more land. It was about finding a safe place for the members of the church where they wouldn't be persecuted and killed. Mobs had killed many people and driven them out of their homes, burning buildings and destroying their property in the places where they had lived before, so Brigham Young was working with God to try to find a place where the people could be safe, and he led them to the Salt Lake valley.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) believe that God lead the pioneers to safety in Utah. Each of the hundreds of wagon or handcart groups that came was lead by an experienced trail guide. The first group to arrive in Salt Lake City was lead by Brigham Young, who acted as President of the Church after the murder of Joseph Smith. He had received a vision of the Salt Lake valley, so he knew the right place when he saw it.
