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.

A Foot of Snow And A Power Outage
After getting a foot of snow in Walker, the power went out in a couple places.
I heard there was a power pole down, but I can’t confirm.
Last update is that power will be restored by 11:00pm this evening.
I’ll sit here being grateful for our “whole house” electric generator.

Annual WFPA Meeting and COVID-19
I attended the WFPA board meeting this morning. I’m the newsletter editor and there’s another issue of it coming soon.
Among the things discussed was the concern about COVID-19 and the gathering for the Annual Meeting over Memorial Day weekend.

Suggestions included moving the date back, voting on line or in email, or potentially something else.
They will monitor the situation and the threat, then make the best decision possible […]

Always Helpful
After working with him, I was pleasantly surprised, of his dedication, kindness, & wiliness to go beyond required necessities.
He was always checking to see if everything was OK. He was willing to work with me in any situation that would arise.
He was always helpful. He gave me advice on ways of making property more sellable.
I'm thankful for all the help he gave me in the transition period.
I would definitely recommend Conrad Walton to sell my property again.
