This is fairly easy to solo at level 70 to 80. Even in instances like LBRS, you can just walk past most of the mobs. The only real challenge is the enemy racial cities where buffed guards and enemy faction players can make achieving your goal difficult.
;START AT IRONFORGE:
# Ironforge - Mystic WardFly gryphon to Thorium Point
# Searing Gorge - Southwest corner in Blackchar Cave: 
# Blackrock Spire - After a few pulls into LBRS, the Elder will be across the first wooden bridge (Head right then left).

# Burning Steppes - On top of Dreadmaul Rock north of Morgan's Vigil: Fly gryphon to Stormwind (via Morgan's Vigil)

# Stranglethorn Vale - Elder Winterhoof is above the bank in Booty Bay. Coords for map showing both halves of Stranglethorn: . Coords for map showing only the Cape of Stranglethorn: . Take the boat to RatchetBecause this continent is more horde friendly you will basically follow this route on your mount rather than searching out flight points.
# Northern Barrens - In Ratchet, behind the bank: 
# Orgrimmar - By the flight master: (Luckily for you, Orgrimmar is the most populated Horde city, and just like Ironforge, the most crowded places are the bank, the mailbox, and the Auction House.

However, Thunderbluff is just as popular a city as Darnassus is, and so you have a great chance of not being outnumbered. At least not by anything more than level 15 tauren druids. Enter by the north lift, and go east towards the elder rise.)
