Go for a hike to a lesser known peak. Even in the high season you can find plenty of isolation.

They also close the Cades cove loop to cars twice a week during the summer, for only bikes and peds, but you have to get up early. In fact, a lot of overcrowded issues can be solved simply by waking up early. :)

Expect everyone ends up waking up early and its still crowded. When i was in yosemite people would wake up at 3 am to hike half dome thinking theyll beat crowds but end up with everyone else who thought the same. When i ended up doing it i started at 1pm and passed people coming down the trail but after a while there was no one out there
