Typical recommended landscape lenses range from 10-24mm...using a 50mm will require you to stand back at a greater distance. I own a Tokina 11-16mm and its perfect for landscapes. You can get everything in the picture : )

It's possible to take good landscapes even with a 200 or 300 mm. I think 95% of my landscapes I take in the range between 17 and 20 mm like mariosworld write here
Here are a few with 50mm, not killers shot but I like them
Enjoy your trip, this is the more important thing

You can take great landscapes with a 50mm lens - you can take great landscapes with a telephoto!
Wide angles are not always ideal - they can make mole-hills out of mountains.
Take the lens you have, and do what you can with it - get some people shots too.

If you need to go "wide" don't forget you can take pictures side by side and stitch them together. In that regard the software these days is pretty good. On a D90 a 50mm will be equivalent to 75mm (1.5x) because of the d90's sensor size. You should invest in a good tripod and head.
You'll have to zoom with your feet but the 50mm1.8D is the best lens for the money.

depending on where you are, a 500mm takes better pictures than a 10mm for landscapes.

Try the Tamron 90mm macro.
Or my favorite lens the Tamron 28-75mm f2.8
cheaper still Tamron 28-300mm I think its a very under rated lens, not the sharpest in the world but great range. I think you can pick them up on ebay for under $100

As Paws2008 suggested, you can make pretty nice panoramas with 50mm
Lot of hard work and post processing needed, but that may still be worth it.
You can pull off few decent panos even without tripods and ballhead... just shoot as many pics as you need next to each other with sufficient overlap - and use autostich to put them all together.
Most of my panos are made like this without tripod.

or, just grab a cheap 18-55 VR... makes a great lens when you dont have an option :)

You can take good landscapes with the 50 1.8d, you just have to frame it right. It isn't going to be super wide, so you have to choose what part of the landscape you are going to get. These are even more limited because I shoot with a cropped DX sensor on my D90.

Yes you can with a 50mm. Shot this using a Nikon D50
But I have to said a 24mm or 35mm will be great for landscape

50mm is not so bad on the 1.5 crop factor, i've used a 45-200mm Lumix lens on an M43 body and taken some good landscape shots which is 90mm equiv (x2 crop on M43) vs 75mm equiv on APS Nikon.

There are no fast rules, I myself don't care for super wide lens for landscape. I used a 50, 24-70 and 80-200.
Dont complicated it,. Just frame and click away.
Cheers,
Chris

No good reason why you can't. It just depends on the situation and how you adapt to it.
As for how, use an aperture f8 or above, focus on infinity and shoot away.

As long as 'photogs' keep referring to lenses as 'portrait' lenses and 'landscape' lenses instead of just naming the focal length and special attributes (defocus control/macro/zoom/fstop/etc), people will keep thinking they are lacking kit. The camera companies like that.
This trip for the OP could e a big breakthrough having only the one prime. Good luck.
