Best sharp landscape lens for Canon Rebel t3i

I have been scouring forums trying to piece together the right answer, but I'm still not convinced what is the best lens for me. Here's the details: I'm shooting on a t3i, and will be renting the lens for a trip through many of the national parks in US this summer. I would like a wide angle lens as much of what I will be doing is landscape (is it worth having a more versitile lens though maybe??)  I'm struggling to find the line of what isn't worth getting without shooting with a full frame. I have been debating the 24-70mm f2.8 vs 24-105mm f4. However, other options available from the site I'm looking at are (all Canon lenses):

10-22mm  f3.5-4.5

16-35mm f2.8

11-24mm f4

14mm f2.8

24mm f1.4

I'm concerned the popular 24-105mm option won't be wide enough to get some really sweeping landscape shots on the t3i, and overall my largest concern is sharpness. I only own the 18-55mm kit lens (which is collecting dust) and the 50mm f1.8 (which is what I primarily use, thus why I'm now looking for something wider than that).

Apologies for any terms I may have gotten wrong, still new to this whole world and would appreciate any and all advice!!!
