Seeking Advice on 2 nite circuit hike with 9 year old

[rdb5decon]

I'm just beginning to take my 9 year old daughter into the backcountry. Last year we did Lion's Head in western CT on a 1 nighter. This year she has a pack and wants to do a 2 nighter. Anybody have any advice on a similar trip, preferably a circuit? Can't be too far from Southwick MA, since travel time = shorter trip. Thanks for any input...

Depending on how much mileage & where you park, Greylock could be done as two nights, especially for people with shorter legs. Gould, Mark Knoepell (On AT south of Saddleball) & shelter (don't remember name) on AT North of Greylock near Prospect offer some options. If camping with tent, many options exist beyond those shelters.
