FS 6235 is a mountain biking route in the Bozeman Ranger District of Custer Gallatin National Forest in Montana. It's an out-and-back ride of about 6.8 miles, with a total elevation gain of roughly 2,382 feet, and it's rated moderate. The trail starts at about 6,640 feet and climbs to a high point of about 7,797 feet, which makes for a significant climb over the course of the trip. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Big Sky, which sits about 1,200 feet lower than the trail's high point, show July highs near 78°F with lows around 41°F. That station runs cooler than the trail's summit, so expect conditions up high to be a bit colder. Several campsites sit within a mile of the trailhead, including the Fr 6234 End Off Langohrtoole Rd 148 and Fr 6234 End Off Langohr Toole Rd 149 sites. Swamp Rock and The Fins, both climbing areas, are about a mile away.
