The area behind Camels Back is protected. I wouldn't worry about bike trails going away because the city government, most citizens and developers want the natural areas in the foothills to remain as open space for hiking and cycling. Citizens here have even voted to raise property taxes to fund the city purchasing open space in the foothills to be protected from development. Boise is all about biking so, yeah, no worries.
There is a lot of space in the hills to build in and not disturb the trails.
