Pete, don't hamstring yourself. In that type of landscape no matter what you take, it won't be wide enough.
On digital 16mm would be my minimum starting point. Last year on my Canada & GFM trip I took my 31mm, 50mm, 77mm, 16-45mm & f 1.7x AF Adapter). As much as I've bad mouthed it in the past, the 16-45mm was my most used lens (I always regretted leaving the 10-17 FE at home too). Think wider.
