紅(hong)(hong)巖(yan)峽谷,其名得自于峽谷中出產的紅(hong)(hong)色巖(yan)石。高坡紅(hong)(hong)巖(yan)峽谷有(you)五大景(jing)觀特征:“雄、奇、秀、險、幽”。
紅(hong)巖峽谷(gu)(gu),其名得自于峽谷(gu)(gu)中出(chu)產的(de)(de)(de)(de)紅(hong)色巖石(shi)。紅(hong)巖峽谷(gu)(gu)谷(gu)(gu)峰相對高差約(yue)(yue)(yue)450米(mi),河谷(gu)(gu)長度9公里左右(you).基本上是(shi)東(dong)西走向(xiang)。谷(gu)(gu)底(di)一條終年不(bu)斷(duan)的(de)(de)(de)(de)小(xiao)河,即(ji)使在冬季枯水季節也從(cong)不(bu)斷(duan)流,河水清澈見底(di),河中有許多的(de)(de)(de)(de)小(xiao)魚、螺螄,還有少量的(de)(de)(de)(de)娃(wa)娃(wa)魚。峽谷(gu)(gu)中有兩(liang)個潭(tan),位于上游(you)方(fang)向(xiang)的(de)(de)(de)(de)叫(jiao)小(xiao)龍(long)(long)潭(tan),面(mian)積約(yue)(yue)(yue)70平米(mi),下(xia)游(you)一端(duan)的(de)(de)(de)(de)叫(jiao)大(da)龍(long)(long)潭(tan),面(mian)積要大(da)些。小(xiao)龍(long)(long)潭(tan)和(he)大(da)龍(long)(long)潭(tan)之(zhi)間相距約(yue)(yue)(yue)600米(mi),都處在中段。據說大(da)龍(long)(long)潭(tan)的(de)(de)(de)(de)水很深,還從(cong)沒有人到過它的(de)(de)(de)(de)底(di)部(bu)。這里是(shi)河谷(gu)(gu)中最窄的(de)(de)(de)(de)地方(fang),兩(liang)岸絕壁高聳.幾乎無路可(ke)走。要繞過大(da)龍(long)(long)潭(tan),須(xu)從(cong)左岸陡峭崖壁上密集的(de)(de)(de)(de)灌木林(lin)中50米(mi)路程的(de)(de)(de)(de)小(xiao)道通過。
高坡紅巖峽(xia)谷(gu)有(you)五大景觀特征:“雄(xiong)、奇、秀(xiu)、險、幽”。雄(xiong)為高山深(shen)(shen)谷(gu),奇為奇峰(feng)怪(guai)石,秀(xiu)為山光水(shui)色(se)(se)(se)(se),險為驚濤險灘和懸崖陡壁,幽為曲(qu)折隱深(shen)(shen)。紅巖峽(xia)谷(gu)林(lin)深(shen)(shen)葉(xie)茂、鳥(niao)鳴猿啼,是(shi)大自然(ran)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)充滿(man)活力(li)和生(sheng)命力(li)的五彩繽紛的藝術長廊(lang),這(zhe)里有(you)大面積的紅楓林(lin),是(shi)貴陽境(jing)內最美的一(yi)(yi)片,每年12月的中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)旬(xun)(xun),楓葉(xie)紅透迷人。由于品種或受光面的不同,楓葉(xie)顏色(se)(se)(se)(se)上(shang)有(you)些差異(yi),一(yi)(yi)些黃中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)帶綠(lv)或紅中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)帶黃、一(yi)(yi)些深(shen)(shen)紅,還有(you)一(yi)(yi)些紅得發紫,看上(shang)去簡直就是(shi)一(yi)(yi)幅色(se)(se)(se)(se)彩豐富的油(you)畫.與高山臺地(di)上(shang)的景象形成鮮明的對比。讓(rang)人感到更為奇特的是(shi)沿河(he)一(yi)(yi)線遍布的野生(sheng)梅花樹,延綿了(le)幾公里,淡黃色(se)(se)(se)(se)的梅花以紅楓林(lin)為背景竟(jing)相開放(fang),河(he)谷(gu)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)飄蕩著淡淡的清香,據說這(zhe)里的梅花花期大約3個(ge)月左右。河(he)邊的鵝卵石叢中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)長滿(man)了(le)嫩(nen)綠(lv)色(se)(se)(se)(se)的谷(gu)節草,青翠欲滴(di)令人不忍心去踩踏。也(ye)許是(shi)得益于峽(xia)谷(gu)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)溫潤的小氣候(hou),在(zai)(zai)12月中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)旬(xun)(xun)幾乎接近數九隆冬的季(ji)節,清澈的河(he)水(shui)在(zai)(zai)峽(xia)谷(gu)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)潺潺流淌,而岸(an)邊的蘭花卻還在(zai)(zai)開放(fang)著淡藍(lan)色(se)(se)(se)(se)的花朵,它是(shi)那樣的縹緲,神秘、與世無(wu)爭(zheng),在(zai)(zai)這(zhe)杳無(wu)人煙的山谷(gu)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)默默地(di)綻(zhan)放(fang)著它的美麗。
