Three primes and a tripod

Backpacking obviously limits the choices due to size/weight, but puts the photographer out there in the best light (sunrise, sunset, storms breaking up).

I would take:  12 mm, 25 mm, 75 mm Olympus lenses and a light weight tripod.  I might substitute the 60 macro for the 75 if wildflowers were a priority.

I would bring a plastic bag to cover camera during rain.

Have a lens shade for each lens to keep rain off the lens and to prevent flair.
