Brigham Young was not an explorer. He was a leader. He lead the Mormon people from Illinois to Utah. He sent many pioneers from Utah to establish colonies in Idaho, Arizona and Alberta. He also sent pioneers to establish colonies in California and Mexico.
Brigham Young came west with the wagon train on April 14, 1847.Entry - April - 1847 "Wed. 14. - Pres. Brigham Young and his brethren of the Twelve left Winter Quarters for the Rocky Mountains. They joined the Pioneer camp near the Elkhorn River." (LDS Church Chronology 1805 - 1914, page 33)

She was never an explorer. She was a sharoshooter, a trickshot and a showman.
Brigham Young became president of the Mormon church when Joseph Smith died. The Mormons needed a safe place to practice their religion. The Mormons had been kicked out of every other place they had tried to settle. At the time, Utah was a part of Mexico, and they wanted to escape the United States government. Also, before Joseph Smith died he told Brigham that the Saints would eventually have to move west to the Rocky Mountains. Because every where else that Mormons tried to settle were chased out and abused. So the Mormons went west to seek a place where they could practice their religion without being provoked.

The Brigham Young Historical Park, just east of the headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is a park on land that originally was part of Brigham Young's farm. Brigham Young was the second President of that church, and considered a prophet by many, often referred to by Mormons and non-Mormons alike as "The American Moses." Young oversaw the settlement not only of Utah, where he was governor, but of the lands that eventually became Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, and much of Southern California. Young's cities are still examples of the early master-planned communities--Salt Lake City being famous for having been originally constructed in the 1850s with six-lane roads and elevator shafts.
