Because members of the LDS Church back then were persecuted so much for their religious beliefs that they just wanted to cause as little trouble as possible. There is also a scripture in Isaiah in the Bible that is prophesy. In Isaiah 2:2 it reads,

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it."

When Utah was first purposed to be a state, it was going to be called the State of Deseret. 'Deseret' means honeybee in Hebrew. So the state has been purposed to congress several times. When Utah finally became Utah, a congressman named the state Utah because he thought he was mocking the Mormons that lived there by giving the state a Native American name. Utah in the language of the Ute Indians means "The top of the Mountain."

What the congressman was really doing was fulfilling prophecy that is given in the Bible.

But before all the above happened, a revelation given to Brigham Young (the Prophet of the LDS Church after Joseph Smith) by Jesus Christ Himself told Brigham to go and settle in the West. Which is why so many people traveled in handcarts and wagons is because they knew that the revelation given to Brigham was what God wanted them to do.

The Mormons went to Utah to escape persecution and death at the hands of the mobs that had driven them out of other states.

In the early days of the Church there was a lot of prejudice against its members, and as result of the prejudice the early church members were chased out of one place after another. They had moved between New York, Illinois, Missouri ,and Ohio, and in Missouri the state actually passed a law making it legal to kill a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This Law stayed on the books until 1976.

The United States Government in response to the petitions of the Church members for help, effectively told them to get out of the country. So they sought an area that was far from other people.

The reason the Mormons left was because they had been kicked out of Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois. They appealed to the federal government for assistance, but were told that the government could do nothing for them. So, they went where they knew they could practice their religion in peace - a land that was rumored to be uninhabitable - the valley of the Great Salt Lake.

Tens of thousands of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) traveled to Utah between 1847 and 1900. Of course many of them had different experiences on their journey, and therefore there were many feelings and reactions upon arriving in Utah. Some were relieved their journey was over. Some were concerned that Utah wasn't the final mover and that they might have to leave soon. Some were disappointed that Utah was so inhospitable and barren, and some of these were hopeful the church would eventually move to California.
