California 155 connects Delano with Lake Isabella, crossing the Greenhorn Mountains along the way. It is a very winding and slow route due to the steep grades and construction designed to keep the road true to the contours of the landscape. At the east end, California 155 turns south at Wofford Heights to follow the west shore of Isabella Reservoir, connecting to the town of Lake Isabella and California 178 freeway.
California 155 uses this bridge to cross the French Gulch near Isabella Reservoir. Photo taken by Erik Fox (10/15/06).

Now traveling south alongside the shore of Isabella Reservoir, westbound California 155 crosses the French Gulch Bridge, which crosses over a branch of Isabella Reservoir. The reservoir can be seen to the west of the two-lane highway. Photo taken by Erik Fox (10/15/06).
