Bird-watching vacation at Christian Pond in Grand Teton National Park

Written by Vacation Idea.com Travel Editors.

If you are staying at the Jackson Lake Lodge, Christian Pond is located near the lodge. You can walk from the lodge, or drive and park your car in the small parking area north of the bridge.

Christian Pond is an excellent spot in the park for bird-watching. One can observe sparrows, soras, sanhill cranes and snipe. Sometimes trumpeter swans visit the area. Many migratory waterfowl can be seen nesting near the pond.

Close to the parking area, you will reach a small hill that overlooks Christian Pond. Bring your binoculars and enjoy some of the best bird-watching in Grand Teton National Park.

Be very careful while hiking in this area - there can be moose. You should follow all of the National Park Service warning signs very closely.
