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.

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 […]
Pink Car Snow Today
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.
