Shift lenses ...
Got my first shift lens after taking too many bad pictures in Yosemite.
I wouldn't think of leaving them home if I were taking pictures in a
canyon. My recent trip to Zion Canyon reminded me how helpful they are.
Also don't forget a hat.
Sounds like a great trip. If you can, take more time.

Hmm... how does a shift lens help in Yosemite/Canyon? Assuming a
35/shift if it makes a difference.

If you can resist tilting a very wide angle lens upwards I don't
think you need a shift lens. There are very few parallel lines in a
natural environment.  It depends on whether you want much foreground
in the picture. I think foreground anchors the picture.  Level 21,
24, 28mm lenses will take superb pictures.
