Mars Hill, Mountain summit in Aroostook County, Maine, United States.
Mars Hill Mountain reaches an elevation of 1,748 feet with a prominence of 1,210 feet, offering clear views of Mount Katahdin 85 miles away.
The first United States 50-star flag was raised on Mars Hill summit on July 4, 1960, at 4:33 AM with fifty national guardsmen performing a salute.
The International Appalachian Trail crosses Mars Hill Mountain as part of its 525-mile footpath connecting Maine's Baxter State Park to Newfoundland's Belle Isle.
Visitors access the 2-mile round trip hiking trail from the parking area at Big Rock Mountain Ski area, following wide ski slopes to narrower summit paths.
From March 25 to September 18, Mars Hill receives the first sunlight in the contiguous United States due to its northeastern location near Canada's border.
