People were persecuting them.

The Mormons left Illinois because Brigham Young, the new Mormon leader, heard about a great valley in the Utah desert, which at the time was still owned by Mexico. In 1847, he led a party of Mormons on a long, hazardous journey to the valley of the Great Salt Lake.

The Illinois government asked the Mormons to leave because their presence was causing too much unrest in the state.

Under their new leader Brigham Young the decision to leave Illinois was due directly to the murder of original Mormon Joseph Smith and his brother by a mob that attacked the jail where the two brothers were being held.

No. The total area of England is 130,395 km sq or 50,346 sq miles, whereas Utah's total area is 219,887 km sq or 84,899 sq miles. Therefore the state of Utah is nearly twice the size of England.

It is 672 miles according to Google Maps.

Utah is usually considered the Intermountain West

This depends on if by 'church' you mean meetinghouse buildings or congregations. The number of both is changing on almost a weekly basis as new buildings are being built and new congregations are being formed, but we can get a good estimate this way:

There are 170 stakes in the Salt Lake Valley (by adding up the stakes in the Salt Lake, Jordan River, Draper, and Oquirrh Mountain Temple districts). A stake in the Salt Lake Valley generally has 3 buildings with 3 congregations meeting in each building.

Most stakes have 3 buildings, some have 2 and some have 4. So if by churches you mean buildings, 170 stakes x 3 buildings each is 510 church buildings. Most stakes have 9 congregations, some have as few as 7 while others have as many as 12. So if by churches you mean congregations, 170 stakes x 9 congregations each is 1530 LDS congregations. So, in the Salt Lake Valley, there are 170 Stakes, approximately 510 church buildings, and approximately 1530 congregations. If you need an official count, you can contact the Church through the contact information provided in the "Related Link" found below.

To get away from persecution they were facing and to get away from the people who were killing them just for being Mormon as well as other various hardships they were facing because of their faith.

It was December 19, 1990

It can be done in very close to 24 hours if you have at least 2 drivers and can average at least 350 miles per fuel stop consistently. In order to do it you will need to choose the lowest traffic hours possible. I recommend a Saturday mid morning departure from DTW, plan your fuel stops carefully and switch drivers at each stop to maintain high alertness. This puts you traveling through Iowa, Nebraska, and about half of Wyoming during the nightime hours where patrolling is pretty minimal (except through Omaha). Early Sunday morning on the freeway in Western Wyoming and Northern Utah is very light so traffic shouldn't be a problem during the home stretch.

Utah is named after the Ute tribe of Native Americans that were common in the area. The word Ute means people of the mountains, and it is said that the word Utah means mountain top or top of the mountains.

Park City is located in Summit County, and boardering Wasatch County. It is about a half hour southeast (ish) away from Salt Lake City. It is in what some people like to call "the Wasatch Back".

There is one temple in Temple Square, that is the Salt Lake Temple. There are other buildings on and around Temple Square, these include two visitors centers, the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, the Church Office Building, the Tabernacle (where the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings), the Assembly Hall, the Conference Center, the family history center, the church museum of history and art, and the church history and archives building. There are other temples in the Salt Lake City area, but the closest is about 20 miles away. These are the Bountiful Utah Temple, the Jordan River Utah Temple, the Draper Utah Temple, and the Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple. You might also include the Ogden Utah, Mount Timpanogos Utah, and Provo Utah Temples. You can learn more about visiting Temple Square at www.visittemplesquare.com.

The arches in Moab, the greatest snow on Earth, in Park City. There's the meeting of the transcontinental railroad at Promontory Summit, which is the Golden Spike. We have the Great Salt Lake, and there's the Salt Flats, used for racing and 4-Wheeling. We are the beehive state, and there are many unique things about Utah, that I did not list, you should google Utah's history, or great things in Utah, etc.

Lake Tahoe: Depth-1,645 ft

Length- 22 mi (35 km)

Shoreline-72 mi (116 km)

Lake Mead: Depth-500 ft

Length-112 miles (180 km) when the lake is full,

Shoreline-550 miles (890 km)

So Lake Mead is longer but Lake Tahoe is deeper.

The Mormon pioneers were run out of Ohio by mobs, forced out of Missouri by government extermination order, and told to leave Illinois by the government. They appealed to the US president for help, who told them he could do nothing for them, so they left the United States for Mexico. A couple years later, the area where there were living became part of the United States.
