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.
Walker Road is in New Mitsubishi Commercial
Starting at 12 seconds in, Walker Road is featured in this new TV commercial.
There are overhead drone shots and interior shots with Walker Road in the background.
At 25 seconds. the map on the dash even says “Walker Road”. Pause it and look closely.
It ends up at Watson lake, but there’s Sedona and the Walnut Grove steel bridge along the way.
The whole commercial was shot around the Prescott area, at least within an hour and a half of here.
Where are the initial scenes shot? Houses […]
It’s a White Valentine’s Day
Walker received another 5 inches of snow last night.
After the 4 feet we got a few weeks ago, this is nothing.
It’s enough to make everything beautiful out there.
It’s going to be a sunny day today, so it will probably all melt by tomorrow.
Be careful driving around.
These photos are of a hawk in the tree off our deck, enjoying the view.
Biggest Snow Since When?
Walker Road First Thing Jan 26 Morning from Conrad Walton
We have had 3 snow storms blow through Walker in the last week and drop at least 3 feet of snow, more than that in the higher elevations.
The last 2 days were sunny, which melted off a lot of the snow, especially on the roads where they’ve been plowed.
Today, we had a small storm come through and drop another 3 inches.
Sunny days are ahead.
I personally […]

Just because I could and I took the photo this morning, then again this afternoon, after another bunch of snow fell.

More Snow in Walker
Today is the most snow of this round of snow storms coming through Walker.
I’m going to guess it’s another foot of snow on top of the snow we already received in the last week.
It should all stop by tomorrow morning.
If you have a choice and you live in Walker, stay home, or visit your friends in Phoenix.

Prescribed Burns
That smoke you’re seeing is from a prescribed burn.
Everything’s OK. Don’t call 911. They know about it.
PRESCOTT, AZ, January 19, 2021 – Fire Managers on the Bradshaw Ranger District plan to take advantage of predicted weather to burn piles located near Copper Basin, Spruce Mountain, Groom Creek, and areas along Walker Road starting on Wednesday, January 20th through Tuesday, January 26th.
Fire managers expect smoke impacts to Prescott and surrounding areas to be light. Pile burning helps to reduce hazardous fuels adjacent to the wildland urban interface and increase ecosystem and community resilience.
