With Canada as one of its borders, the town of Mars Hill sits at the foot of Mars Hill Mountain.  Travelers can find it easily in the distance not only for the mountain, but for the wind turbines (the first in New England) that are prominent on the Aroostook County skyline. 

A place of small-city charm and beauty such as this should be on everyone’s “must visit” list. A section of the Appalachian Trail passes through here on its way to Newfoundland, and for six months of the year, the top of Mars Hill Mountain is the first to greet the sun in the United States. Little known facts about Mars Hill will be interesting to many who love to learn about locations along the Pine Tree Trail!
