It can also be designed to accommodate families with small children. Kids can ride . It can also be more strenuous. Usually, we hike to a campsite that can be reached before lunch. After lunch, camp is set up and the afternoon is free for to explore, nap, hike, or whatever it is you like to do.
Dinner is served in the early evening, and perhaps a campfire to end a nice day.
The next day, after breakfast, the time is free to engage in activities. Camp is usually struck during the morning and after lunch, the gear is loaded for a leisurely hike back to the trail head. The morning of the second day could involve a hike to a nearby peak or ridge for one of those panoramic vistas. In that case, camp would be struck after lunch and the arrival at the trailhead would be later in the afternoon. The three day expedition can be designed to be easy, moderate or strenuous depending on the trails we hike.
