How to use the max value from the solution of NDSolve ?

Suppose I'm solving a differential equation with NDSolve :

NDSolve[{ x'[t] == f[ x[t] ],  x[0] == 3.4 ], { x }, {t, 0, 10}]

Mathematica then finds a solution like this :

Out[]=  {{ x -> InterpolatingFunction[{{ 0.,  2.6532}}, <>}}

Next, I need to make several graphs of the solution.  How can I point to the max value t = 2.6532 without retyping that value each time, especially if I change the initial condition x[0] == 3.4 and redo NDSolve again ?  What is the name of the t_max found by Mathematica ?  Or how can I point to that special value ?  Is there a way ?
