Welcome to Walker Community!
Located in the Bradshaw Mountains, south of Prescott, AZ, Walker Community is an old mining district, filled with history. It’s named after Joseph Walker, mountain man, explorer, and guide. He led a party to this valley to discover gold in the summer of 1863.
Today, the valley is filled with rustic cabins and elegant homes. There’s a vibrant community of people here, with an active social calendar. Some live here full-time, while others have second homes here.
Everyone loves it here. The community is great, with pancake breakfasts and other social events.

Walker Fire – Crooks Fire Update
From Roger at Walker Fire:

posts we’ve put up all throughout the incident. You can go to this page
without being a Facebook member, as we understand it, to see all the
content. https://www.facebook.com/walkerfiredept/The fire started on Monday and essentially exploded in just a couple of
hours, fairly atypical fire behavior for mid-April. On Tuesday, the
community was of course evacuated as things were looking pretty grim, the
wind was “horrible” as one fire official told us. Wednesday was a very
productive day for fire operations. With all the fires over the years,
we’ve […]

There will be even more resources in Walker than yesterday, the fire apparatus pictured are from outside the area.
