That's how I prefer it. Do a big travel day or two to get to someplace interesting and then stop and enjoy that area as fully as possible. I don't want to drive away wishing I had the time to see more.
I can't imagine spending just one day in a National Park or area. There's so much to explore and see beyond the "highlight tour".
It really is about knowing your own preferences and interests. It's why I'm careful who I travel with. I'd hate to be dragged away from an interesting sight after just 30 minutes. Likewise, I wouldn't want someone else to spend 3 hours at that same sight bored out of their skull so I can enjoy it.
It's also why I put the time and energy into planning my own trips rather than just pick a destination and ask strangers "how long should I stay there?" and "what is there to see?". I know what I enjoy and how I want to travel. Someone else may think that spending 2 hours at the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto is a must see - I have no interest spending 2 hours looking at a bunch of used shoes.
