Summary
Boise’s beloved Foothills trails may be hiding a ticking time bomb—literally. Once a military training ground, the area now teems with hikers and runners, but decades-old unexploded artillery shells lurk beneath the soil. A recent wildfire sparked panic when heat raised fears of detonations, forcing firefighters to pull back. With no complete record of where shells were fired, cleanup efforts remain incomplete, despite past discoveries like a 75mm projectile detonated in 2002. The Army Corps of Engineers warns some zones still pose “unacceptable explosive hazards,” and firefighting planes must fly higher to avoid triggering blasts. While officials say trails are generally safe, the risk looms large—and the clock is ticking on how long this delicate balance can hold.
