High above the hustle and bustle of Ironforge is a tiny flag.  This flag sits on the highest point of the mountains and is where the dwarves laid claim to the hill of Ironforge.  With a little mountain climbing you can stand above the city. 

The only way we have found to get to this area is to go to the Ironforge Airport first and then very carefully go down the mountain.  Standing at the airports griffon master start heading down the mountain and head a little left (west).  Just follow the paths you feel is safest to go down.  You will soon see the buildings of the farm. 

This area is completely lighted, has a road within it, and had NPCs walking around.  The few you can talk to behave like IF guards telling you how to get to a few places but always leading to IF. 

Legend has it Old Ironforge was an open area in Beta but it took too much for the servers to run it that they closed it off.  Even though Blizz is better equipted they still havent reopened the area.

My hubby got an itch to find the airport and by watching this video we were able to get there.  We are both hunters, level 35 and 42, and no mount or special potions or anything was needed.  Below are some screenshots of our adventure including how to look inside the backdoor to IF.  I am currently looking for lore to this area.
