Well, it’s time for an update.

The world is constantly shifting, and so is the State Department’s travel advisory list, which outlines locations deemed unsafe due to factors like political instability, crime, terrorism, natural disasters, and even health risks.

While some destinations have been on the "Do Not Travel" list for years, new additions often catch travelers off guard.

Sometimes, a country’s situation deteriorates rapidly, with escalating violence or government upheaval making it dangerous for visitors. Other times, regions see a rise in kidnapping or fraud targeting tourists.

And in some cases, natural disasters—like wildfires or hurricanes—can turn an otherwise safe destination into a no-go zone.

Montanans are known for their adventurous spirit, but no amount of cowboy grit can protect you from every risk. That’s why we’ve put together the latest version of the "Do Not Travel" list, so you know which places to avoid and why.

If you're planning an international trip, you might want to double-check your destination—you could be booking a ticket to trouble without even realizing it.

So, where exactly should you cross off your bucket list for now? Let’s dive into the updated list of places that Montanans—and all Americans—are warned to steer clear of in 2025.

There you have it. We doubt your travel plans were that affected, but you never know.
