Bonneville disappointing - Columbia Hills promising

Bonneville is disappointing in that it has no exposed bedrock walls, but still is potentially full of discoveries. I'd avoid the areas with a lot of dust. If it is really deep it could kickup and end up covering the solar panels and killing the rover. Good thing it didn't land in all the dust.

The Columbia Hills have a lot of great detail. There appears to be a small crater at the top of one, exposing a lot of rock. A couple of good sized exposed areas are on the bottom of the two largest hills. It's difficult to tell how steep the hills are. I wonder how much of a power drain it would be to climb the big one with the crater on top?
