Taking leaf-peeping to new heights

In Aspen, Colo., some fans of fall foliage go to extremes for a spectacular view - namely, jumping off a cliff above a sea of autumnal oranges, reds, yellows and golds. Correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti reports on paragliding in a leaf peeper's paradise.

No matter the season, trees are beautiful and make the air we breathe cleaner.

[@catlady5862]

Simply put "beautiful " ! Like a portrait.

[@peacenow4456]

BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you SUNDAY MORNING for always lightening our heavy hearts.

[@Transterra55]

It's "very" beautiful, but it's 90% yellow---autumn in New England is unrivaled.

[@Nirrrina]

I'm thankful for all the folks that brave the cold to get these amazing photos. Especially the hang glider ones. I'd never be brave enough to actually go up there myself. Even if I could get there to see it in person.

[@TheMrsgourmet]

[@irenemak1302]

Stunning, and no harm to the planet.

[@sandrabarnett1499]

Wow Beautiful.

[@DISGUYROX]

Those are really nice. Here in Wisconsin we call them "poplars.

[@hankmike3283]

Poplars are different than aspens.

[@Multi1163]

3:34 ah yes those are some nice trees

[@emilytaylor7997]

Woohoo Thanks for sharing why the leaves change colors Jeb! If you want a tour with Jeb or another ACES Naturalist - call the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies!

[@SlackKeyPaddy]

This segment was the only positive thing to watch on CBS Sunday Morning; Its amazing how much this program has changed since the early days of CBS Sunday Morning with Charles Kuralt, wow those were the days!

Beautiful look 👀 in autumn 🍂

[@egmelby1700]

The state of Vermont is thinking “hold my beer”

[@DISGUYROX]

Not maple syrup?

[@davidj8658]

I feel sorry for them, only yellow.

So interesting this came on my feed. I just went hang gliding for the first time last month over Rio, Brazil in order to overcome my trepidation with heights. I've got to thank David Goggins for helping me to callous my mind & overcome my fear. - "Can't Hurt Me" 👊😉

[@bliastreb6466]

Like Hexagon said. Maine has a quadracolor of leaf changes over all of autumn. Really: Is this about pretty greens and yellows or an advert for paragliding. NOTE to NE Whitewater businesses: Leaf peeping from above? Extend your operations into the late fall? It's just a thought.

[@sgarrita2561]

I have to say it …Northeast and New England much much much more beautiful with color variations… 💁🏽‍♀️

[@lindanorth-johnson3096]

Yes the Northeast & New England are beautiful that doesn't take away from the Aspen's of CO!!!

[@DISGUYROX]

Here is Wisconsin we have PROFESSIONAL autumns with riots of colors

[@davidj8658]

@@lindanorth-johnson3096 Aspens, not aspen’s . Apostrophes don’t make nouns plural according to my third grade teacher.

[@lewstone5430]

@S Garrita but you’ll never match the drama of the Rockies though. Come visit.

[@BeautyNatureTravel]

Very nice 👍👍💯

The “influencers” ruin everything for their own selfish snobbery

Who owns the company?

[@Claudi771]

My “sister “ who hasn’t spoken to me in a LONG time has lived in the Boulder area since the 70’s. I think 🤔I’ve been to Aspen once.

[@davidj8658]

WTH was the point of this post ?

[@tooge47]

Pffft, humbug. Right now, ride the Blue Ridge Parkway north of Asheville if you want to see color !!

[@lewstone5430]

Been there many times and it’s gorgeous (grew up in SC) but changing leaves aside I prefer the Rocky Mts.

[@no1onu2be19]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@gus473]

Nice, but I will stick with helicopters..... 🚁 👍🏼😎✌🏼

[@lindanorth-johnson3096]

Not near as clear of a view!

[@RealMTBAddict]

I'll stick to mountain biking.

[@timmytruth3509]

LET'S GO BRANDON! 😃🎉

[@doubleoseven273]
