Best wide-angle lens for Canyon shots?

Hi Experts!

 

I'm a novice in photography and am going on a giant trip through Arizona/Utah this summer. I'll be visiting all the major Canyon National Parks (e.g. Grand, Zion, Bryce, Antelope, Arches, and more!) and would like a wide-angle lens for my trip.

 

I have the Canon Rebel SL1. The only lenses I have currently are:

 

18-55mm EF-S IS STM 

55-250mm EF-S IS STM

18-135mm EF-S IS STM

 

I've never had a lens that DIDN'T zoom, but there have been many occasions I wanted a wider lens than 18mm. I have absolutely no idea where to start when it comes to looking for a wide-angle lens though.. I'd also be open to suggestions for a smaller range zoom if those are good too..?

 

Fast auto-focus is important for me since I'm usually on the go-go-go during my trips. 

 

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Explanations of why would also helpful. Thanks so much!

Get or make a panorama tripod head, mount your camera vertically and take 2 or more shots overlapping by 30% or so.

Stitch together using Microsoft ICE. Use existing lenses.
