Where do the first rays of the rising sun hit in the United States
It varies. For part of late fall and winter, the first rays of sunlight strike Mount Cadillac. For much of spring and summer, Mars Hill is the first part of the U.S. mainland to see the sun; West Quoddy Head gets its chance for a few weeks in June and December.
Bar Harbor.
