On March 30, 2021, Phoenix independent author Paul Fiarkoski learned that his self-published Arizona Bucket List Adventure Guide had climbed to the top spot on Kindle in the Arizona Travel Books category.
Arizona Bucket List, available in ebook and paperback formats on Amazon, features 50 must-see natural wonders in the Grand Canyon State.
Through diligent research, Fiarkoski has uncovered many secrets of experiencing spectacular Arizona sights like Grand Canyon, Havasupai Falls, Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon. In the book, he details how to get permits or passes (if needed), the best times to go, and other helpful insider tips.
“Unlike many publications that focus on national or state parks, Arizona Bucket List includes sites managed by all agencies, or no agency at all.”

For example, there’s a unique, private ranch near Winslow that’s open to the public for tours. “Rock Art Ranch is home to thousands of petroglyphs dating back to 800 BC in a magical, hidden canyon,” Fiarkoski wrote.
“Brantley Baird is the current owner. He moved here with his family and started working the ranch in the 1930s when he was 11 years old. Today, Baird and granddaughter Tori guide visitors around the 5,000-acre ranch.”
In addition to the 50 top places on Fiarkoski’s list, the paperback version includes journal pages that allows people to log up to ten additional places that they discover on their own.
