Oh yes, the canyon walls will be in the way! They'd need a probe in geosync orbit above the landing site to relay the photos back to earth. Think those canyon walls are striated like the Grand Canyon's? The rover should also have a liter of salty water on board that it can open once down there, to see if it will stay liquid. Hopefully next decade!
When will NASA land rovers at interesting locations on Mars, like the bottom of Valles Marineris, or on the slopes of Mount Doom umm err Olympus Mons! The three rover sites picked so far were for safety reasons I know, but how hard can it be to land in the solar systems largest canyon?
