The clock says the same thing everywhere in Mountain Daylight Time, but the sun does not. Over Boise it is highest at 1:36 pm today — 96 minutes after clock noon.

At 116.2°W, Boise sits well toward the western edge of its zone, which is why the sun stays up later here than the clock suggests. Daylight saving adds another hour on top until the clocks change.
