It wasn't discovered, it was created. Fur Trappers, Mountain Men, and Explorers had traveled to the Rocky Mountains for decades, so it was well known how to get to Utah by the time the Mormon Pioneers traveled there. It closely followed the Oregon and California trails for a majority of the time, because there was really only one accessable route due to rivers and large mountains being in the way.
