Thanks. I guess we should wait for our summer trip.
I think that would be prudent.
And actually, I think that if you can get there (it's pretty darned remote), it would be more interesting to visit Katmai NP. And if you do go... boy do I wish I could go with you! However, it's backcountry -- you have to take a plane and hike in (and there are LOTS of bears). Apparently, though, according to the NP Web site below, you can take a bus to the main volcanic feature, the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes and Novarupta.
