You don’t have to handhold, I just got back from there and a 15-35/2.8 with tripod was perfectly fine. With a 24 you can get most of the rock structure but you won’t get much sky in the shot. I’ve been there several times over the years and everytime I forget how huge it is.
For a full Southwest trip I’d take a 15-35 and a 70-200 and leave the 24-70. Everything’s either super far away or broad and expansive.
