It’s so beautiful up there! However, I believe Mars Hill sees the sunrise first, because it is a very tall hill. Though Lubec is farther East, it is at sea level. Mars hill has a 1,660ft elevation, and gets the sun first.

Oh yeah I forgot the sun changes positions. But majority of the time it’s Mars Hill.

I thought Katahdin saw the sun first. I could be wrong. Just let me know if I'm wrong 😅
