State Route 155 is a state highway in the U.S. state of California connecting State Route 99 and State Route 178, going through the southern part of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. This highway runs from west to east. Its west terminus is in Delano and its east terminus is in the small town of Lake Isabella. Locally it is known as the Garces Highway.
SR 155 starts in Delano at SR 99. The route travels south on Fremont St. and then turns east onto Garces Hwy. From there, it leaves the city and enters agricultural land. Continuing east, it leaves the farmland just before crossing SR 65 (Porterville Hwy.). From there, it starts a gentle climb into the foothills of the Eastern San Joaquin Valley. The route reaches the small town of Woody, where it turns onto Bakersfield-Glennville Rd. The road then begins its steep climb, as it winds through the Greenhorn Mountains. It then reaches the small town of Glennville. At Glennville, the road turns onto Evans Rd, as it continues to travel east. It then reaches its highest elevation at Greenhorn Summit – 6102 ft – and starts its descent. The road crosses the small town of Alta Sierra. Continuing east, it enters the Kern River Valley. In the town of Wofford Heights, the route turns south onto Wofford Heights Blvd. It then travels along the western shore of Lake Isabella. The route then terminates at SR 178 in the town of Lake Isabella, south of the lake.
