Deskripsi rute
Holladay dan Cottonwood Heights
The SR-190 begins at a single point urban crossroads with I-215 (though the far right path of the road to the east actually leads to 3000 East instead of SR-190) and the curve of the road going south as it climbs from Knudsen's Corner Lowland near the Big Cottonwood Creek for the first walk along the bottom of the south-facing mountain that leads to Mount Olympus to the north and then along the west side of the mountain to the north of the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon. The border between Holladay and Cottonwood Heights cities loosely follows the route until the intersection with Wasatch Boulevard. North of Wasatch Boulevard, route through several office buildings, Old Mill Golf Course, and many park-and-ride Utah Transit Authority. South of Wasatch Boulevard (where SR-190 actually takes the name of Wasatch Boulevard) there is only a mine to the east and a view to the valley below to the west; at the base of the cliff, but not visible, is an old paper mill building often identified by the area.
The route continues south on the bridge that extends Big Cottonwood Creek and the planned final phase of the Big Cottonwood Creek multipurpose trail at the mouth of the canyon, then intersects with SR-210, which extends south like Wasatch Boulevard, and Fort Union Boulevard, west. Traffic after SR-190 east should turn left at this intersection. Outside the intersection, many park-and-rides are used only for ski buses (or vice versa for canyon visitors) and a water treatment plant is visible to the north and housing development within the town of Cottonwood Heights occupies the southern slopes.
Big Cottonwood Canyon
Signs of city development quickly disappear as the canyon walls get closer together. The route passes through many trailheads and picnic areas within the canyon, as well as historic water and mining related infrastructure and several cabin areas, before passing through Solitude Mountain Resort and turning past Brighton.
Guardsman Pass
After swiveling past Brighton, the connect route (with some retreats) to the narrow mountain road across the Guardsman Pass, ends (with a non-state-maintained connection through to Park City via SR-224 and Midway/Heber City via SR-222) at the top graduated for entering Wasatch County. This section of road is usually closed during the winter.

History
The first part of the SR-190 was now added to the state highway system in 1933 as part of the SR-152, which follows Highland Drive, 6200 South, and Big Cottonwood Canyon Road from Salt Lake City to the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest limit in Big Cottonwood Canyon. In 1941, SR-152 was extended eastward in the forest to Brighton, and in 1945 the connection from Highland Drive to the canyon was moved south to Fort Union Boulevard. To provide access to the new Wasatch Mountain State Park, the SR-152 was extended east of Brighton in 1963, following the county road above the Guardsman Pass to end at SR-224. Finally, in 1987, a piece in the middle of SR-152, from I-215 south and east to Wasatch Boulevard (SR-210), was removed from the state highway system. Instead it is the proposed limited access road, extending 6200 South I-215 past and along Wasatch Boulevard to Big Cottonwood Canyon Road. To avoid overlapping SR-152 on I-215, the new road becomes an extension of SR-210, and the former SR-152 from Wasatch Boulevard to SR-224 becomes the new 190 Route State. To avoid the need for SR -210 remileposting, the new connection becomes part of SR-190 in 1988, took the route to its maximum limit: I-215 to SR-224. As part of a trade with Wasatch County where the state takes back what is now SR-32, and has US-189, from US 40 south of Jordanelle Reservoir to Francis, the eastern end of SR-190 is cut back to the Salt Lake-Wasatch County line in 1990.
