Bar Harbor National Park-largest in the East) then visit Cape in August or even Sept less traffic better rates. As was mentioned take your bikes or rent, visit Cape Cod Rail trail (26 miles) or Shinny Sea bikeway (very scenic along the
ocean) then do the Vineyard/Nantucket via the ferry with your bike (very cheap with a bike). Just one caution if you go in July to the Cape make sure you have reservations, tough to find something decent at the last minute. The Cape is a very unique, special place. I like W. Yarmouth as a base, it is busy in July but you can travel quickly in the morning. Also unlike FL beaches all town beaches charge 8-10 dollars for parking??Good Luck.
Having been to The Cape, MV, Nantucket several times, I can say it is crowded in July and August and impossible Labor Day. In fact on weekends, traffic is impossible from cities and then back home in the cities.

Good luck.
