After climbing up to the high elevations of Sawmill and Whistle Punk, our itinerary begain to head downwards. We hiked up Comanche Peak before lunch, were rebuffed by lightning in our attempt to summit Mt. Phillips, and then descended along the creek to Red Hill camp. We covered 9 miles for the day, and all of our knees ached from the miles of descent with packs laden with food. Red Hill was damp and lacked flat viable tentsites, but the running water lulled us to sleep.
