Map of San Francisco streets colored from sunny tan to shady green using tree-canopy coverage

Why trees

A building casts a shadow somewhere. A tree makes shade where you walk.

Walk Under Trees measures canopy cover directly over walkable streets, then finds routes that spend more of your walk beneath it.

Pick a time. Find the green way.

Made for walking

Shade is the map.

Covered walkable streets are scored from sunny to shady. The route finder weighs that canopy alongside time, distance, hills, crossings, and walkability—so a shadier route still has to be a good walk.
