Description

Linking Honey Hollow and Camel's Hump, the Honey Hump is a route to remember. First attempted by exiting Honey Hollow through the Camel's Hump Nordic Center although curious how using the Catamount Ski Trail might be a better link... 

There are two versions of this route, one via Borrows Trail till Long Trail then south till the summit and than back north on Long Trail, or when at Camel's Hump Rd take the Forest City Trail till Long Trail over the summit from the south along the ridge.

Burrows Trail version: Honey Hollow Parking Lot/Trailhead off of Duxbury Road > Honey Hollow Road > Stagecoach Road (Camel's Hump Nordic Center) > Bert White Rd > Taft Rd > Camel's Hump Rd > Burrows Trail > Summit Tag > Bamforth Ridge via Long Trail North > Honey Hollow Parking Lot/Trailhead

Forest City Trail version: Honey Hollow Parking Lot/Trailhead off of Duxbury Road > Honey Hollow Road > Stagecoach Road (Camel's Hump Nordic Center) > Bert White Rd > Taft Rd > Camel's Hump Rd > Forest City Trail > Long Trail North > Summit > LTN > Honey Hollow Parking Lot/Trailhead

Variation added 6/18/2023:

Adds Forrest City/LTN for Camel's Hump Summit

Similar distance but increases the vert by ~800 ft

More challenging and technical

I agree with the Forest City/LT variation being preferable due to a longer, more difficult ascent and no out-and-back section.
