Joseph Smith didn't exactly lead anyone westward. Throughout his lifetime, he tended to stay behind while sending groups forward to where the whole of the Church would eventually move. This happened as the church moved to Kirtland, Ohio; Independence, Missouri; and Nauvoo, Illinois. He would make visits to these new settlements, but did not personally lead anyone there or move there until later on.
Joseph Smith was killed in Illinois, and the man who lead Joseph's followers westward to Utah is Brigham Young, his successor as leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church).
