Mini World's End

"**Mini World's End** is another stunning viewpoint located in **Horton Plains National Park**, situated just a short distance from the more famous **Great World's End**. Though not as high, Mini World's End still offers a breathtaking view with a vertical drop of about 270 meters (885 feet), providing sweeping vistas of the surrounding landscape, including dense forests, valleys, and distant hills. The viewpoint is named "Mini World's End" due to its resemblance to the larger Great World's End, offering a more compact but equally impressive panorama. The spot is often quieter and less crowded, making it a peaceful alternative for those looking to experience the park's beauty without the crowds. To reach Mini World's End, you'll follow part of the **Horton Plains Circular Trail**, which is about 9 km long. It’s a relatively easy walk through the park’s unique ecosystem of grasslands and montane forests, with several other scenic spots along the way. The trek typically takes about 3 hours, and Mini World's End is one of the stops on the circular route. **Pro tip:** Like with Great World's End, the best time to visit Mini World's End is early in the morning to avoid the mist and enjoy clear views. Bring comfortable shoes, as the trail can be slippery in places, and don’t forget to bring your camera to capture the stunning landscapes!"
