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.

Internet is best by https://www.walkerwifi.com/. They are solid and dependable, with fast speeds and no data limits. Cell phone is best through “Call by WiFi” on your phone, through your personal router connected to Walker WiFi. Verizon does the best straight cell service, but it’s dicey. The higher you go, the better cell reception you get. TV is by satellite or streaming Internet. We have DirectTV. We are unincorporated, so the building department is through the county, not Prescott city. Water is from wells or hauled water. Wells can be private or shared by multiple parcels. There are a few companies that haul water, and a few more that drill and maintain wells. The higher the parcel, the better the view, and the farther you have to drill for water, and the more you pay for the well. Everything is on septic. Make sure you get a permit from the county, which will mandate set backs and other stuff. Trash collection is dumpsters at the fire station. You pay a yearly fee for the combination to the locks to dump your trash. http://walkertrashcollectionservice.com/ Mail delivery is at group mailboxes around the area. FedEx and UPS deliver to your door in most places out here. We personally have a PO Box in town for important stuff. That’s a personal preference. Here’s a list of people that provide services in Walker: https://www.walkercommunity.com/walker-information/ Here’s a list of all of the property for sale in Walker, houses and land, although you can filter that. https://www.walkercommunity.com/walker-real-estate-search/

Mechanical Thinning Operations Continue along Walker Road

Cellar Fire Update – Walker Fire – July 20 pm

We provided some detail on the map of the fire. The head of the fire is 3.5-4 miles from Palace Station. Work at the top of the fire is just about complete and they are just about done prepping Palace Station(hopefully that turns out to be unnecessary). If you look at the map, they are finishing up line fortification between H8 and H10 (these are on the NW flank). The “trouble spot” pointed out on the map has moderate heat but very little in front of it that can burn, it bumps up against previously burned areas and they have […]

Cellar Fire Update – Walker Fire – 1:00pm

Today’s cooperators meeting didn’t yield a lot of satisfying (as indefinitive answers) information. Despite what some of the clouds look like, no rain is expected down at the fire. The cloud cover today is a positive but today and tomorrow are expected to be dry. Moisture is expected to build up on Sunday (not necessarily rain, but higher humidity).

We tried to provide some context on the map as to what is going on, please note the map is best efforts and may not be precise. The head of the fire is one of two top priorities on the fire […]
