A tripod? Lightweight yet steady - I won't recommend one particular one but the top-end Velbons are good value and the Giottos and Manfrottos are top quality.
Eventually, you'll want a Full-Frame camera that really does justice to the great views, but they're still very expensive so look at equipment reviews for cameras with:
Low (digital) noise.
Decent weatherproofing.
Good battery life.
Experiment with two or three frame panoramas - you can end up with really top quality shots by combining shots and doubling or tripling the amount of pixels.

I assume you're well equipped with backpacks etc - some extra weatherproofing, like an inner lining, can help even more.
