Going to Sedona and Grand Canyon in the Spring and trying to pack as little as possible. I’ll be with my family so not much dedicated time for photography.

I’m planning to take one lens (24-70 2.8) due to weight (arthritis) and dust concerns. My main concern is if I’ll significantly miss out without a wide angle or telephoto zoom?

1-2 nights of Astro: 24mm f2.8 is decent, hard to justify a specialty lens

Family pics: 24-70 is perfect Canyons/hikes: is 24mm with pano enough?

Lookouts: Is 70mm significantly limiting reach?
