Iron Marches[edit]

Name of Vista Complete Area Nearest Waypoint Waypoint Description
Echoslab Arches Echoslab Arches Waypoint (map icon).png Old Piken Ruins Waypoint Starting from waypoint, go west to the ramp and climb up the rocks, staying as close to the cliffs as possible. Work your way south, and, you can either go across the small bridge and continue south OR, keeping close to the cliff, take a jump onto a narrow ledge, then follow the cliff dropoff around to the vista. Either way, be prepared to fight guards, turrets, and watch for the the roving Charr patrols.
Stonesheath Overlook Stonesheath Overlook Waypoint (map icon).png Dewclaw Waypoint A very easy hike to the overlook
Lake Desolann Lake Desolann Waypoint (map icon).png Brandwatch Encampment Waypoint just south of the tower, an easy climb past the Griffons.
Lake Carnifex Town of Cowlfang's Star Waypoint (map icon).png Town of Cowlfang's Star Waypoint For the "tourist" route,take the ramps to the left of the main gate, drop onto the tent then around to the platforms inside the fort. The vista is visible outside the ramparts from the far end of the platforms. Jump to the wall then an easy walk outside to the vista. Even easier it to climb the rocks just to the left of the main gate. That way, you need not even work up a sweat!
Crystalwept Groves The Granite Front Waypoint (map icon).png Viper's Run Waypoint The access to this vista starts on the "spiked tail" south of the waypoint. Walk up the gully on the left side, then jump up the tail and shift to the grassy rocks on the right. The vista itself is higher on the tail. Little fighting needed, just a few Minotaurs for annoyance.
Gladefall Run Gladefall Run Waypoint (map icon).png Gladefall Waypoint This is a partial jumping route. Start from the waypoint, and head for the Renown Heart on the LEFT BANK. Hug the bank until you reach the cliff, where the jumps along the cliff face bring you to the bridge above the falls. Cross and take a "leisurely" walk to the vista.
Ebbing Heart Run Grostogg's Kraal Waypoint (map icon).png Grostogg's Kraal Waypoint From the waypoint, immediately start climbing the cliff outside of the kraal. It's an easy hike from there.
Scorchlands Scorchlands Waypoint (map icon).png Gladefall Waypoint If you try to walk through the Flame Legion basecamp, plan on a BIG fight just to get near this vista. There is an easier way--about 3/4 of the way up to the Gladefall Run vista, there is a group of boulders that can be climbed to provide access to the vista. The access point is not easy to find, but once access is gained, the path to the vista is easy and clear. You can also reach the POI at the far end from this access point. It's easier to take the west cliffs as far as you can, then go to the edge of the cliffs and find the jumping path there.
