The condition of the Sandwich Notch Road from the Waterville Valley end to the Algonquin trailhead was in a word, “rough”.
However, it’s probably doable for even a passenger car if you take it very slowly and weave around some of the deeper potholes.

The Algonquin Trail was in good shape from the trailhead to the point where I stopped, which was about 0.2 miles northeast of the junction with the Black Mountain Pond trail. I didn’t stop for any reason other than lack of available time to go any farther. This somewhat abbreviated trek was sufficient to get some good views, despite overcast conditions.

Some photos and additional commentary about this hike is located in the Trip Reports forum. (Click HERE)
