What solution did Joseph Smith come up with to stop religious persecution?
Joseph Smith attempted to employ the same solution to religious persecution as the Puritans of England, that is, he tried to move away. He moved from New York to Ohio to Missouri to Illinois, but it didn't work. He was murdered. His successor moved to Utah. That was much farther. That worked.
Where did Joseph smith stop leading the Mormons to Utah?
Joseph Smith did not lead the Mormons to Utah at all. Joseph Smith was murdered in Illinois a year before the first group set out for the west. He did prophesy that eventually they would move to the Rocky Mountains, but he never did anything to lead them there.
What Happened When The Mormons Didn't Move West?
The Mormons that didn't move west, including Joseph Smith's wife and sons, began their own church. This church was known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, with Joseph Smith's son, Joseph Smith III, at it's head. That church is now known as the Community of Christ, headquartered in Independence, Missouri. The official website of the Community of Christ can be found at www.cofchrist.org

Who was the prophet that led the Mormons into Salt Lake City Valley?

Who were people who impacted the Mormons decision to move west?
The Mormon exodus west was impacted by both people within the Church and people outside it. The first move west, from Palmyra, New York to Kirtland, Ohio, came about because a large number of people had converted in the area of Kirtland and the Church decided to move the headquarters to where the people were. The second move, from Kirtland to Independence, Missouri came about for two reasons. The first being that Joseph Smith, whom the Church members considered a prophet, said that Zion would be built in Jackson County, Missouri. He sent some members there to establish Zion, with plans to move the entire Church membership there. Eventually, most Church members ended up leaving Kirtland due to persecution. The locals who were not members of the Church feared that the Mormons would begin to take over and influence the politics of the region, and essentially ran them out of the state. The next move, from Independence to Nauvoo, Illinois came mostly because of persecution in Missouri. Joseph Smith had been imprisioned on false charges, and Govornor Lillbourn W. Boggs issued an 'Extermination Order' to "kill all Mormons, or drive them from the state". Several homes were burned and men kidnapped by mobs, so they moved to Illinois. The next move, from Nauvoo to Salt Lake City, came because Joseph Smith had been murdered and the state of Illinois asked the Mormons to leave the state by the winter of 1846. In deciding where to go next, Brigham Young suggested they go west to the Rocky Mountains, since Joseph Smith had prophesied that the Church would eventually have to move to the Rocky Mountains to escape persecution.
Who was led westward by Joseph smith?
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).
Where did Joseph Smith and his followers originally plan to have their headquarters?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was established by Joseph Smith on April 6 1830. Members of this church believe Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, and that there is a living prophet on earth today.It is the 4th largest christian church in America. Often referred to as the Mormon Church. There have been a few splinter groups from the LDS church. The first and largest was the RLDS church, which has since melded into the community of christ for financial reasons, and has renounced the prophet-hood of Joseph Smith. There is also the polygamist group lead by Warren Jeffs that was recently in the news. This group beleives in the Book of Mormon, but is unaffiliated with the LDS church.

Joseph Smith left New York for a couple reasons. First, there were so many new converts in Ohio that it was decided Church headquarters should move there. Second, there were many people in New York that were hunting Joseph down and he needed to escape.
Did Joseph Smith lead the Mormons to Utah?
No, he didn't. Although the he called himself a prophet Joseph Smith prophesied the Church would eventually have to move to the Rocky Mountains to find peace, he was murdered before the move was carried out. The murder was directly tied to his claim that God condoned polygamy. Brigham Young lead the majority of the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Salt Lake City two years after the death of Joseph Smith. Those who remained in the Midwest began a new denomination called the Community of Christ.
Which Mormon leader decided to leave the East and settle in Utah?
Joseph Smith is the one who directed the early Mormons to move from New York to Ohio and from Ohio to Missouri and Illinois. In Illinois, he prophesied that they would have to move to the Rocky Mountains to find peace, and plans were in place to make the move. It was not until after his murder, however, that they would travel to Utah. Brigham Young was the leader who made the call for everyone to pack up and move to Utah from Illinois.
