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 Road Blocked
Coming home from town this afternoon, we were stopped at the mailboxes by a sheriff.
He said that a cement truck had turned over and dumped it’s load going up the switchbacks at Frampton Hill.
We live closer than that, so he let us in, but we saw tractors being unloaded to go up and help clean things up.
Maybe that hill will get paved before they planned!
360 Movie – Prescribed Burn on Walker Road
There was a prescribed burn right next to Walker road on Oct. 28th, 2021.
It was pretty dramatic, so I stuck my 360 degree camera on top of my truck, and drove through the smoke.
Here is the 360 degree video. Yes, it’s a video, not just a still photo.
I showed a friend who expected flames leaping over the road, but it’s just smoke.
As you drive down the road, use your cursor or finger to rotate the video left and right, or up and down.
If you are playing it on phone, allow it to access the motion detection. That will allow you […]
Winter Is Coming – First Freeze Of The Season
It got cold last night, below freezing for the first time this season.
There was a thunder, lightening, rain, and hail storm through Walker last night.
It left hail on cars, decks, and places that don’t melt quickly.
It was all frozen this morning. The photo is of the hood of my truck this morning.
There are sunny days ahead, but be careful out there.
