Here is a NavCam image of the Kimberley, with Mount Remarkable the small hill (less than 5 m high) which we are pointing towards.  The science team and rover planners are considering where to drill on these sedimentary rocks.  You can see boulders which have tumbled down Mt. Remarkable.

The inset shows part of a HiRISE image, giving an aerial view.  The NavCam image is looking towards the southwest.
