The bit of mars that fascinates me is the Hellis Planitia[1] A huge hole roughly opposite the globe from the large volcano complex[2] coincidence.. I think not.
I am vaguely surprised it was not higher rated for a rover mission. 7k meters down should do something interesting to the atmosphere if nothing else.
If you were standing on the "walls" of the canyon, it would look like terrain with a 10%–15% slope. You wouldn't even notice it's a canyon.

If there is life on Mars, it will be underground.
So if you can get 7km down without digging, that's the first place to look!
