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.
