Fs 3203A is a short, flat mountain biking route in the Bozeman Ranger District of Custer Gallatin National Forest in Montana. It starts and ends within a quarter mile of the trailhead, with a total climb of about 25 feet over a 0.28-mile out-and-back. The elevation gain is so slight that the ride feels like a brief detour rather than a climb. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is rated easy. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. July typically brings highs around 78°F and lows near 41°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station in Big Sky. Winters there are cold, with January highs around 30°F. The Lower Wildhorse Lick Trail and Fs 3203B both sit within a short distance, and the Fr 62 Lower Hyalite Creek Road 026a camping area is about 0.4 miles away.
