　　九寨溝里，沿著水流步行是一種無比美妙的享受。從箭竹海、熊貓海、五花海、孔雀河到珍珠灘，從皚皚的積雪到淙淙的溪水，從紛亂的瀑布到靜守的湖泊，無論多么清純的溪流走的也是如大江大河一樣坎坷的生命之路，水的幸運和悲壯都裸露在大地上。九寨溝瀑布群，主要有諾日朗瀑布、樹正瀑布和珍珠灘瀑布組成，此外還有若樹正群海間的梯瀑群等無數(shù)小瀑布。

　　九寨溝最寬闊的瀑布叫諾日朗，高約30米，寬達(dá)百米，水從靜海穿林過灘慢悠悠地流來，凌空而下，銀花四濺，那種純凈的色彩真是令人心醉。 　　 進(jìn)入樹正溝，沿途有犀牛海、樹正瀑布、火花海、蘆葦海和盆景灘。流水被密匝叢生的灌木喬木分割成無數(shù)的小溪流，雀躍而下，火花海如同寬闊綿長的淺水堤壩，壩上樹木參差，水或清漪地漫過，或如冰雪似的淌過，所有的根莖都習(xí)慣了流水恣意的撫摸。所有來過九寨溝的人都已經(jīng)在碧水清流濯洗了自己的情感和理智，回到自己的家鄉(xiāng)后會更加懂得敬畏自然、敬畏生命。
