Well landscape in my book, isn't the kingdom of ultrawides but rather standard range.
If you one and only one prime, any 28 or 35mm will do.
However it's more practical to carry a zoom lens, and here you have a myriad of offerings, you won't go wrong with anu of them
24-70f2.8 (both will do), 24-70f4IS, 24-105f4IS (here you have to correct distortions at 24mm) or even in the non L world you have plenty of decent performers.
however all depends on what you mean by landscape, for what you are describing you don't need fast lenses, be sure you get a sturdy tripod and a decent polarizer though.
Stepped down almost all lenses will perform decently so whatever you get you won't be disappointed.
A medium tele lens in the 50-100mm range is often quite useful for waterfalls, I never shot waterfalls with an ultrawide.
Just a tip, invest more in your location as well your gear, give great attention to lighting even if it means rising as early as 4 AM or waiting hours for the best lighting. even if you are using digital it is wise to bracket focus and exposure
