Gear checklist for Canyonlands Maze

I'm getting ready for a May trip where I will be backpacking for the first time. I'd appreciate any comments on my gear list!

We start out on the Green River outside Moab, UT putting in at Mineral Bottom and paddling 3 days to Spanish Bottom on the Colorado River. We will stash our kayaks and hike 1000ft up to the Dollhouse formation and cache water, then return to the river and camp, hiking back up to the Dollhouse the next day with our gear. I've included the link to my lighter pack for the gear I'll be hiking up on day 2 with. For the next 2 days we will do day hikes into the Maze.
