The route, step by step

  1. 1
    Take the Talondeep Path tunnel

    Entrance at 43, 71 in Ashenvale — the cave just south of Mystral Lake, exactly where the quest text says. A few level ~22 bears guard the area.

  2. 2
    Emerge at Windshear Crag

    You come out at 78, 43 in Stonetalon Mountains — a Venture Co. logging camp full of mobs. Stealth or hug the walls; the spider eggs on the path spawn adds, so don't linger.

  3. 3
    Head south to the road split

    Follow the path south to around 60, 71 — expect level 19–20 mobs. Do not walk to Cragpool Lake; you want the clear mountain pass on the west side.

  4. 4
    Turn north up the slope

    A clear dirt path winds north up the steep slope to Stonetalon Peak. Keeper Albagorm waits at 37, 8 — grab the flight path while you're there.

Pick up on the way: Super Reaper 6000 is available around 59, 62, and if you have On Guard in Stonetalon, Kaela Shadowstrike is at 60, 67 on the cliff after you turn north.

FAQ

Where is the tunnel to Stonetalon Mountains?

The Talondeep Path — a cave at 43, 71 in Ashenvale, south of Mystral Lake. It's the only Alliance-friendly route in; the alternative is the southern pass through the Barrens-side mountains.

Where is Keeper Albagorm?

Atop Stonetalon Peak at 37, 8 in Stonetalon Mountains, right next to the Alliance flight point.

What level should I be for Journey to Stonetalon Peak?

It's a level 18 quest, best done at 18–23 for full XP. The mobs en route run 19–22 — doable at 18 if you're careful, easier with the Cat Form / stealth approach through Windshear Crag.

Is it worth doing?

Yes — it's a long walk but it opens the Stonetalon Peak flight point and leads into Reclaiming the Charred Vale. Combine it with the other Astranaar quests into Stonetalon for one efficient trip.
