I accepted this quest but at the time I was still doing quests in Stonetalon Mountains. I came back to this quest at a later time I flew from Orgrimmar to Hunter's Hill. When I got there I ran down the path and I couldn't find any mobs along the path. When I reached the original quest giver again I abandoned quest and re-accepted quest. I went up the path again and there were finally mobs to kill!
Nura is located at 31.4, 13.3 (Quest start)

What to do
Description
This way, {class}! I see you've discovered the high road. The Alliance hopes to sever our ties with Stonetalon, but they forget that we tauren have hunted across these lands for generations. We know every hillside switchback and game trail from here to Thousand Needles. But for these paths to stay open, we must stop the humans from mapping them out. Patrol the trail east and kill any high road scouts you find along the way, then speak to Tunawa Stillwind just up the path.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Trouble From the Ground Up
Teegan's a fool to think the quilboar caused this sudden overgrowth. Look around you. I've been watching these plants bloom and sprout daily - each generation is more mutated than the last. This isn't tribal magic - it's something primal. And dangerous.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Feeding the Fear
Our resources are limited, <class>, but that doesn't mean we can't make some trouble down below. Use the ropes here to sneak down the hillside, then slay the human prison wardens.
