Howdy Neighbor Season 2 Episode 1: Thermopolis
The new season of Howdy Neighbor kicks off in Thermopolis with Wyoming locals, Jim and Shawn, as they take on one of the state’s most exhilarating small towns. It’s known for being home to the world’s largest mineral springs, but there’s so much more to see and do in this exciting neck of the woods.
You’ll also meet Vanessa Chavarriaga Posada, an environmental sociologist, professional athlete, and Colombian immigrant. For Vanessa, living in Wyoming has helped her reconnect with her childhood memories from growing up in Colombia, where she’d spend her free time hiking, exploring and enjoying nature with family and friends. Today, Vanessa uses her platform to empower others to get outside and move their bodies – where better than Wyoming to do just that? Along with her pals Jr. Rodriguez and Rosa Sanchez, Vanessa embarks on a thrilling white water rafting adventure through the Wind River Canyon - a must-see stop during your Wyoming road trip.
