Yet another rework of my speculative routes for #Perseverance to reach Bright Angel. This one shows two much faster routes (green) to the riverbed, passing through a few regolith ripples, but leading to a mostly flat and rock-free terrain.
The green route seems preferable to me (but IANAG), provided there are no scientifically interesting locations along the the south bank, which the rover has been traversing for a number of sols now (white dashed line).
