Blacksmith Week was inspired by the WPA blacksmithing projects created at Timberline Lodge in the 1930's. Modern-day blacksmiths gather in Government Camp for in-person demonstrations and hands-on learning. The general public is invited to observe and hand-made blacksmithed items will be available for sale.

Bonney Butte HawkWatch is located in the middle of the Mt Hood National Forest. The team at HawkWatch International has been monitoring and counting hawk species at Bonney Butte since 1994 with the gola of defining long-term trends in populations of raptors in this part of the Pacific Coast Flyway through the Cascade Mountains. Annual counts typically range from 2,500-4,500 migrant raptors of up to 18 species. The most commonly seen species are the Sharp-shinned Hawk, Red-tailed Hawk, Cooper's Hawk, Turkey Vulture and Golden Eagle. The public is welcome to visit Bonney Butte during the season to take advantage of the environmental education programs and the great hawkwatching at the site.
