If you hike Sulphur Mountain, hike the Cosmic Ray Trail, and not the switchback up the gondola side. It's a bit longer hike that starts at Cave and Basin, but with two cars (last time I did it I just ran from the bottom of the gondola back to the car and then drove back up to pick up the rest of my party) you can take the gondola down and then the hike is just a 2 1/2 hour hike.
The Cosmic Ray trail is a beautiful hike on the backside of the mountain, great views almost the whole way up, starting along the Bow River, while the Sulphur Mountain hike is a switchback trail through forest with a gondola overhead with barely any views until you reach the top. Also it's steeper than the Cosmic Ray hike.
