We have now reached the first foothills in the Mt. Sharp part of the mission. This area is called the Pahrump Hills. The Navcam image shows the sort of terrain we will be driving over in the next part of the mission as we spend more time analysing and drilling the sedimentary rock outcrops compared to our current driving routine.
